That is why the article is so offensive. |
The author is a shelter worker~she is speaking from her heart and with passion. It is not offensive IMO it is heartfelt. She is pouring her heart out because of what she has seen in shelters due to people irresponsible behavior. I am sorry but if you feel the author was long winded, IMO it seemed to be out of frustration and more of a vent and rant.
I have to ask? Do you volunteer for a shelter, rescue or with animals in need? When was the last time you visited a shelter to see or help with all of the dogs, cats and other animals housed there? Have you ever picked up a dog that was so sick you didn't know if he would make it through the night? Do you own a rescue or volunteer to be a foster home? What action or responsibility are you
personally taking to make a difference in the treatment of animals?
I posted the original letter to try to enlighten YT member of how a shelter worker feels. Even if just one person now understand the magnitude of breeding their PET my point has been made. If it has offended you then so be it there is nothing more that can be said to change your opinion.
