| "Euthanasia 101" from a shelter manager I just found this on craigslist. It's pretty heart-wrenching - and graphic. The author asked for others to repost on dog forums and I think it's worth reading. I feel ashamed and very disapointed in myself |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Everyone needs to read this - along with what happens in 'gas' chambers. There's just no need for us to keep overpopulating the world with dogs and cats but sadly - things haven't changed much - it seems the more our population grows - the more healthy pets are killed each day in shelters

| I read this with tears in my eyes, it's so sad but true, people will buy animals for the wrong reasons and at the first sign of troubles will pass the animal on or give it up. I tried to volunteer at our local SPCA and lasted 1/2 hr. I just did not have the heart for it. Much too heart renching..

| Sorry I couldn't read it all. I have in the past thought of volunteering at a shelter, but I knew that I would bring to many home. Even when I have subbed at one of our high schools there's always kids that I want to bring home. Unfortunately I know life just doesn't work that way. (( |

| So sad =[ Thats exactly how i picture the pets who are turned over to the Humane Societies and other shelters. I understand there are legitimate reasons for no longer being able to keep a pet, but my heart just breaks for them..They don't know where they're going, where their family members are going when they leave them there, they don't understand why they've been brought to this place, and they wonder why and if their humans will ever come back for them. It's so sad ='[ It just breaks my heart. I agree with the author, people need to educate themselves and not think of their pets as disposable..and spaying and neutering is a BIG factor is helping to prevent the killing of dogs and cats for no other reason than they cannot find them a home.
