I hate to watch such shows too but I think as animal owners we really need to watch them just to remind us to spay and neuter our pets.
I also agree with the post above about low cost or free spay/neuter clinics. I was the City Secretary for our little town and it broke my heart to see the animal control truck loaded with pets that I knew would be put to sleep.
There is no real solution though other than personal responsibility. I wish somehow that people who have a voice would promote rescue animals. If we can afford our expensive little babies, we should also be able to donate to animal shelters, rescue organizations & spay/neuter clinics. Wouldn't it be wonderful if Hollywood personalities other than Bob Barker cared about the animal population? |
