They usually have a segment on the local AM news about shelter animals
up for adoption.
The person in charge of the local shelter said that there are so many
people giving up their pets due to the economy that their shelter is
completely full as are the local private shelters. He said that every
time they take another one (Surrender) in they have to put one down to
make room for it. They are full of both cats and dogs. He said that
the way thing are going that eventualy they may have to put down
(Humanely Euthanize - HUH) all the surrenders to make room for the
strays that they are required to keep for so many days.
How can people give up a member of their family because they can not
afford it but yet go out and spend 4 or 5 dollars for a pack of smokes
or however much for booze plus all the other luxuries they could get
along without ?!?!? I couldn't !!
Thanks for letting me vent here.
