I wouldn't call it a pro pet store stance. I saw it as just a statement regarding regulatory oversight. Maybe I'm wrong because, as I said, I can't really speak intelligently about it all. I do think it's a mystery to the average person how shelters truly operate and what the motivating factors are. Whatever the case is, I don't think it takes away from the central point of the article...that being the importation of animals from abroad.
It's kind of ghastly to think a shelter might euthanize a dog just to make room for one it sees as more desirable. I would hope not but it does seem that he (Winograd) is intent on showing us the 'soft white underbelly' of shelters.
Thanks for the review of his book. I think I may get a copy, too.
Yes, that's a new pic in my avatar. That's Darla...I call her my little monkey. I need to get a pic with her all gussied up (she had been out playing when I took that pic) but she's a little beauty. Thanks for noticing
