Oh those programmes are usually good, but I think there is a lack of good animal control in many of the cities in this country. It makes me mad too that there are quite a few jerks out there not only abusing the animals they own, but giving some particular breeds a bad name. Of course a great deal of the neglect and poor treatment comes from a lack of good information and education concerning proper care and just generally how much time and money is needed to look after a pet.

By the way, couldn't help noticing your location there, I am visiting Cardiff this January.
