I clicked on the link and I looked at all those innocent faces. I cried huge tears. Of all the pictures, the little fuzzy kitten hit me the hardest...not sure why. It was the most beautiful, innocent little angel.

I really don't know that showing pics of animals who were put to sleep is helpful. It breaks the hearts of those who love animals, but the majority of those who dump their animals there could care less. A couple of years ago when I went to the shelter with my mom and we were looking around for dogs, we were there at total of 2 hours and dozens of dogs and cats were dumped in that time frame. One of the hardest was a man pulled in two purebred goldens, who both had their "breaks" on and had to be dragged by their leashes, and he had not a care in his heart. Even when the adoption councler told him that they had little chance of making it to the adoption ward, the owner said, "I don't care...I don't want them anymore".

Some people are monsters and they are unaffected by the tragity. I think the only people who are affected by the pictures are people who are actually responsible and spay and neuter their pets.
