I had a dream. It was an incredible dream. When I awoke, I had a huge mess to clean up.

That's right!
Now if you want a pet, you gotta pay $10 for it!

I hate to say it, but I agree with Spooky on this one.
I mean, would it be that hard to give a pet to people who have played forever and a day? heh

Currently in the MMO unemployment line.
Can I get $15/month for not playing them?

No no, that IS the gift. You're given the gift of being able to buy a new pet for charity.
The best gifts are the ones you give.

They've given out pets in the past...but that'd probably conflict with their milking of players since they put 2 more pets up for sale the same day as their anniversary this time around.
It's all pretty amusing. Pay up, suckas!

You DO realize the proceeds from the pet sales go to charity? Hardly "milking of players" when a) you don't have to buy these at all; b) they are not profitting from this as a company; c) they are leveraging their popularity to raise funds for worthy charitable organizations.
-- edit: adding quote from Blizzard --
"Thanks to the support of all the World of Warcraft players out there who purchased the Pandaren Monk last year, we were able to donate more than $1.1 million to Make-A-Wish this past February. We're looking forward to making another big contribution to this great cause on behalf of the World of Warcraft community following the close of this year's promotion."

It's not on all the pets. Pandaren Monk and the Moonkin Hatchling. And it's only 50% of the proceeds. They are making a profit. It's also only for limited time on their donations.
If you want to give to Make a Wish then call them up and give them $100. Don't defend what I personally consider a dumb purchase decision by saying it's for charity. Much better ways to help out the many charities out there and more effectively.
