ok this is a really sad story ...... but GRRRRRRRRRRRR
I absolutly HATE the fact that they say "if she got treatment right away she wouldnt be the way she is"...... this is totally not necessarily true........ My golden when i was little had cancer and we caught it right away and got her treatment for it and it came back WORSE!!!! There is no knowing how the dog would have been if the cancer was removed and i think it is horible of people to make owners feel they are neglectful when it is out of their hands (im not talking about this case, the owner probably was neglectful...... but my family was looked upon that way because of the cancer our dog had).... This is a BIG issue with me because people threatened to call the humane society on us!! the dog itself wasnt in any pain, the cancerous luump just looked really bad, in the end we put her down (i think this was mostly due to the pressure we were under with people accusing us of animal cruelty, when she wasnt even in any pain yet and she was incurrable...... she would have had an extra couple of years at LEAST.......)....... Ok, to go off on a tangent, people can call social services on children now a days for nothing at all.... and people can also call the humane society on you for nothing at all, i think these departments are necessary and i am thankful we have them BUT, i also think that it is wrong that someone who doesnt even know you or the situation/circumstances of occurances between you and youre pet/child should be able to call these places and say "this and this and this is going on and you should get out there"..... regardless of wether or not you are guilty of anything you are still on file with thier systems and are at risk of losing your pet/child if there are any other complaints by other nosy people that dont know anything........
*Deep Breath*......... ok, sorry for my Loooooooooooooooong rant, but it just makes me so mad!
