Wow...
Thats a real eye opener..I knew it happens but hearing it from that point of view has shocked me.
I think that people should be made to have a license with every dog owned and be made to report any cases or rehoming and if the reason isn't good enough then fine you dont get anther dog.
I wouldnt ever be able to put a dog through that
I wonder if there's anything I can do to get my shelter turned into no-kill and give them more space.. That completely was utterly horrible, and sounds very much like my own shelter.
Thats horrible and very sad nearly brought me to tears. :(
If I could make a law for selling dogs & cats this would be it.
''YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SELL PUPPIES/DOGS,KITTENS/CATS WITH OUT THEM BEING NUTERED & THERE IS A LIMET OF PROFESIONAL BREEDERS ALOUD TO BREED THESE CREATURES IN EACH COUNTREY AND ONLY THESE PEOPLE CAN SELL & BREED THEM!!''
If this law was real there would be less deaths and more joy towards cats and dogs.
So if you want a dog or cat there would be a certan number of breeders around each city so that people dont just keep breeding them for money and if you did that you would get a large fine :mad:
Same goes for rabbits and other over breed creatures.
:confused: well, for whatever it's worth, i found the site, but the person on there who posted it said (quote) No I don't know who wrote it. I saw it on another forum and figured some on here could use it so I copied and pasted it. It was supposedly an e-mail going around so it is probably far away from who wrote it...
i'm trying to hunt down the source of it, myself. maybe someone will figure it out. :confused:
good luck!

The problem with this is...if the shelter goes no-kill, it's animal control who ends up euthanizing all the pets. Since one of my local shelters went no-kill, I've been told that if they need an animal euthed they take it to animal control. They still have an "open-door" policy 24 hours a day for taking in animals....what happens to all the animals they don't have room for?Quote:

Here is the post - the poster's contact addy is at the top of the page. At the bottom of the post, it is stated that no commercial offers or anything else inappropriate are to be sent to the poster.
He might like some support and offers of help, if he has a project he wants to get off the ground.
I have emailed to see if this person knows who the original poster is.
I fear that you are so right, Laura. :(Quote:

I can't make it through all this right now. At work. I don't know how they do that job. I think it would kill me. I wish people would be more responsible and quit treating animals as property. Bless this person and I know they'll have a special place in Heaven.
I saw this about a week ago on another forum I go to and then a few days later posted on my local Craigslist. I do know that it's true that some animal control places in less prosperous areas still use gas, so I do believe this letter. Of course it is possible that he has embelished a bit but I don't think it matters that much. It is a great story and I hope some people who need to see it stumble across it. I'm so sad for the animals and this person who obviously suffers because of his job. :(
Has anybody got a petition or started anything regarding this thread?
It says it's in North Carolina, well I've found the governer for that place and was wondering if emailing or writing a letter and including this would be worth something?
Even if bringing it his attention?
What do you think?
I didn't read it here or the multiple times I got it on my yahoo rescue groups because I know what they do and I know what happens to those animals. I just wish I could throw the stupid, irresponsible people in the gas chamber instead of the poor innocents.
It's amazing to me how ignorant people are when it comes to their animals. I especially love the one where parents want to breed their female dog so their kids can see the miracle of birth... :mad: Stupid, blooming idiots...be a responible parent and TELL their kids about it instead of putting their pet through that and then add to the pet overpopulation problem.
Oh please, don't make me get started.... :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
And just so you know....there are gassing shelters in every southern and Midwestern state that I know of...and Ohio is one of the worst.
well, i would like to commend the person who wrote the story for doing that job, it would be a tough job.
now i have to be the bad guy and point out a few things.
first of all, why would that person let the cats go in other neigborhoods?
thats adding to the problem don't ya think?
second, stop being so nieve, what do you think happens to animals that end up at the pound? sure giving them an injection is a faster and less painful way to die ( i would assume) but then again so is shooting them in the head with a rifle.
i think what people need to understand is that the people that are causing this problem are the ones who will never read this, they don;t care and have no interest in learning anything that does not directly affect them in some way.
i live in missouri, there have been a number of dog bite attacks (supposedly by pitbulls but that was never confirmed) lately which were all over the media, what do you think the reaction of the public was?
well it sure wasn't any sort of intelligent one thats for sure, the people that were interviewed said that all pitbulls should be destroyed, when asked why they said , um because they are pitbulls.
the result has been a ban of pitbulls in certain counties, even though alot of people testified to the inneffectiveness of breed specific legislation, the ban still passed because of popular opinion.
but noone ever mentioned anything about the owners responsibilities. during one of the attacks the dogs were actually in a kennel/dog run and someone let them out because he wanted to see what would happen.
anyway, i just found out that its the law in my county to have my dog licensed, and thats because i just happened to be on the animal control website. bottom line is that people need to be educated but they have no interest in learning about animals. anyway, hope i didn;t offend anyone, here is the link to my local animal control dept, notice that everyyear the number goes up?
sorry for the rant, but people should have to take a class before being allowed a pet.

You haven't saved them...you've sentenced them to the possiblity getting hit by vehicles...of turning feral and/ or becoming breeding machines (and keeping you or the poor person in the area you released them into, in a job you and i'm sure most people hate??)...and various other nasties
Why not take them to a shelter in that area that uses the needle?? Releasing them is just plain wrong
