I do agree with you to a certain extent, but do you honestly think it is ok for him to threaten to either put Doyle to sleep or re-home him, personally I find that abhorrent, any animal lover would not beable to do such a thing.

However keeping him where he is will incurr further expenses for food etc, so I really can't see the simple answer here to the situation, I can only hope the publicity surrounding it will endeavour to raise the funds required to help pay the vet fee and release Doyle to his rightful owners.

Unfortunately if only those who could afford to put aside like a thousand dollars a year for unexpected vet fees,adopted animals there would be many more animals euthanised and without loving homes, my two included.
