The video never made any attempt to advocate getting your pets fixed, adopting or fostering shelter animals, or donating money or your time to help any of these animals. Don't exploit these animals' dying breaths without at least trying to offer some constructive ways to help prevent this problem.


ETA: I think videos of this nature are probably better off in the Dog House forum.
I have a problem with that too. Pet overpopulation is not Animal Control's fault, nor is it LA's mayor's fault. It is irresponsible owners and breeders.

This video is very heartwrenching. Watching animals become lifeless will never, ever become easy, even in a dog or cat that is very sick and unhappy. However, for me the most heartbreaking part was how their bodies were treated. I know that not everyone feels this way, but I think they should be treated with more respect. Being tossed and drug around is not easy for me to watch.
