I personally do not allow my animals to have fleas, but I can think of some reasons why others may allow their animals to be infested. Some people actually think it is normal behavior to see an animal scratching and biting at its fur/skin, and some folks just don't care and think "it's the animal's fault/problem." I think many cannot afford the medications to treat the fleas. Some, who can afford the medicines, do not know there are treatments for preventing fleas that are as simple as rubbing a small amount of medicine into the skin between the shoulder blades once a month. The worst thing...is that most folks just don't know about the flea-tapeworm cycle and the dangers that tapeworms pose to humans/their children, etc.
