This is awful to read. I think we need to remember, though, that if this method is cheaper, it's probably necessary. Most Humane Societies and shelters do the best that they can, and unfortunately can't afford to let the lost souls die with peace and dignity. I think that this is a great reminder of how in-need these places are. We sometime forget that while our bills are rising, so are theirs. If anyone is sadened or outraged that this is happening, make a donation to your local shelter or humane society if possible. Donations can be designated to a certain aspect of the organization, so you have complete control over where your money goes. |
