Butterfly powder

I feel you should get the option to bring the pets back or go visit them in their paradise that they get sent to from butterfly powder, and perhaps a comfirmation for doing it

How would you do so, such isn't even possible irl?
Maybe it’s just one more reason to think carefully before using the powder… It’s up to your imagination what “remove” means here (take it to an animal shelter, release it somewhere, give it to someone else, or put it to sleep…) Maybe it should be more of a “Lassie” option—the animal gets so homesick that it finds its way back to the farm after a while. Children turned into doves might also show up at the farm every now and then, if there’s a birdhouse there...

When you use it there is a dialogue box that pops up and asks you to confirm that you're sure.

I think if you've decided to remove a pet, it should be permanent, I don't see how you'd do it accidentally and it should feel like a big decision to think about.

Then we need some kind of bird house but for them, so we can choose if the animal does return or not. Inknow dog houses and cat trees exist but they might get used for other pets.

Unfortunately they're just nice decorations, the only dog using a doghouse is Dusty.

"Doves may appear at a Bird House placed on the farm after using the Dark Shrine of Selfishness." -> that's what the Wiki says and I saw it a few times in my very first game, kinda weird, if you ask me and I didn't recognize them first... (turned the children into doves when they were 12 and 13 in-game-years old and I couldn't stand anymore having just toddlers around me after all these years )
