I know our local news was talking about this last year....when things were getting tight and gas was so high...I still don't understand it...I mean, I know sometimes we go thru hard times, but we don't give up our children either...and too me, my "pets" ARE my children.
If things are really that tight...the families could (if possible) cut back on other expenses, eating out, buying junk food, etc, etc.
If things are sooo bad that a family is about to lose their homes, etc...why not see if a family member or friend (someone that the dogs may atleast know) could take the pets in for awhile or adopt them, etc.
How can you just leave and walk away from a companion that is so loyal to you and that their eyes are just so full of love for you and the family...how can you look into those eyes and just turn around and leave them stranded in your home or on the streets or in a cold cage at the shelter?? It is just beyond me.....my heart just aches for these babies!!!
