While theres people who would give anything to save their dying pet the stupid shelter goes and kills the innocent. How can they have no heart  sorry I needed to vent. |
As a former Animal control officer, I am kind of offened by this post.
We never put an animal to sleep for no reason. We even had one dog at the pound for 5 months!! Some places have no choice but to put them to sleep to make room for even more animals. There were times when we had to chose who to put to sleep, the old dog who had been a loyal family member for years or the puppy who had a full life ahead of it? You tell me who would you choose? You think we have no heart, we held each animal while it took its last breath and wondered why people did this. You can't blame the shelter people they have to a job that most people couldn't or wouldn't do. Its also not fair for the animals to sit in cages at the shelter month after month, you have to ask yourself when does it become unfair for the dog. I interacted with every animal that we brought in, we walked them, played with them, some we even bonded with, and in the end they knew love even if it was only for a little while. Do not judge these people until you have had to make the choices they have had to make!
