Ha ha ha, I get into trouble when I suggest the same thing, regarding the overpopulation of humans. Another conversation killer is instead of animal testing, why don't we use the inmates? More accurate results by using real humans!

I hear ya on the animal shelters and the dumb rules. I know it's important to be sure the animals get a good home and all, but geez! Reminds me of a local shelter here, we went to awhile back. The Saturday hours were 11-6. We got there around 4, walked around, had a cat all picked out, took him up to the counter to fill out the paperwork about 5:45, and the lady points to a sign facing on the way out that they stop taking adoptions 30 minutes before close. And they told us we had to come back the next day! We never did come back, they were closed on Sundays and we couldn't make it back out til the following Saturday. You would think with the over population of animals, they would have been happy to see another one go home. I know employees want to go home on time, but you would also think the shelter would have a rule that they needed to stay up to 30 minutes past close to complete adoptions, and then have the shelter close at 5 or something.
