What's sad is that people still don't really get it. Spay and neuter your pets, it's really that simple. (And, I'm not saying that it would solve every overpopulation problem, but it would certainly help a lot.)

This just makes me cry. I forwarded this to all my e-mail friends and asked them to pass it along with some monies to any animal shelter. Even $5.00 a month is helpful.

Gaaaah, I'm of the school of thought that ANY animal that walks in the front door with panleuk or parvo and it not wearing tags or microchips should go out the back door immediately. ESPECIALLY in an area that takes in a lot of animals.

What a shame, this was totally preventable, in several ways.
