Looks like they're being sold as disposable presents - as soon as the person they're given to gets bored of them, they get thrown out. Sadly that can apply to any real pet...

Maybe but the probability of that happening to non yukkuri pets are darn lower by comparison, since people tend to be more careful to other creatures, but with yukkuris? they just throw them and done with it.
Most probably by either sealing up the hole with flour and water, or - more likely, judging from the scream - burning it shut.
Doesn't really sound like a good idea in the long run though, how else are they going to expel water from their bodies? But then again, it looks like these guys aren't destined to be long term pets.
they don't seem like otherwise bad yukkuri, or at least the patchouli didn't. Hopefully marsaki will allow us a glimpse into their true (shitheaded?) nature before the abuse.
The reimu doesnt seem to be a bad yukkuri either, she puts pet yukkuri on a pedestal and appears to strive at becoming one which to me is no indicator at having a ill attitude. She isnt showing any signs of considering herself to be an "idol" and appears to get along with the other yukkuri in her case.
Really she seems like an orphan in a run down and extremely poor third world country with hopes of being adopted by a nice family.
But i have a strong feeling that i will be proven wrong about all this in a few pages.
It's not about being bad or her expectations being bad. The thing is such expectations are troublesome in the owner-pet relationship. And with yukkuris, we know how bad things go when they have mistaken assumptions which aren't fulfilled.
A great deal of our worry or our foresight, makes us think that she'll be adopted, expect such things and even demmand them, not get them, and then start shitheading around and rebelling for not getting 24/7 sweets sweets and husbandos with little ones. Basically we are predicting her becoming scum or shithead and we are getting ready for enjoying the smacking. But considering the "disposal" nature of this "trendy baby" yukkuris thing, it's hard to expect any better outcome, specially after the "anti peeing" treatment.
Also mind you, the hope of being adopted by a nice family is an universal thing on orphans, it has nothing to do with poor third world countries, you can go to closest first world orphanage and see the kids wanting the nice family as well. There is also a difference between Orphans and Pets, so i don't think comparing yukkuris to orphans is accurate. . .or appropiate.
That is true, when expectations are not met implications occur. But it would be interesting if this Reimu was actually nice instead of her following the long trend of predictable deibus. I do not have any hope for this yukkuri because I have a decent idea of how this is going to end now with the treatment to the patchouli.
I had no ill will with the comparison of yukkuri to orphans, it was simply an observation. And it was also my mistake on the scenario of the comparison. But now I feel a bit silly because I just noticed that pet shops are very similar to orphanariums in the sense that the beings residing within are looking for a home, although to me the orphans are vastly more important. But I suppose it would be best to forget this about this observation.
You have to consider that the comparison is off since pets and orphans not only have different levels of importances like you said, but also different expectations, limitations, benefits, etc. So it can sound kinda wrong, there is a reason why yukkuris are seen as pets and not as orphans, and why expectations or dreams are understable in a human orphan while being troublesome in a yukkuri pet.
