[QUOTE=Natsky]No more rescues would be nice...sadly, I think you guys are right, we're a long way off.
I think before our culture gets to a point where we can value animal life, we're going to have to learn to value ourselves and each other. People can't even treat other humans with respect, how can we imagine people would treat animals with respect. We treat animals like they are things...and we all know how people treat "things".
When I think about how some people treat animals...it hust rips me apart. Can you imagine, just being neglected and abused and disposed of?? It's a shame and it's criminal and I don't think I'm being dramatic when I say that stronger charges should be brought against people who mistreat animals.
Hugs to you .... Very enlightening commentary you made regarding emotional service dogs. The world would be far more accepting if other less legitimately needful people would not take advantage of the "loopholes". I wish all the best to you in finding Peace in your life.
