I know several people that are still under the impression that once an animal bites you, it craves the taste of blood. Perhaps they felt that they needed to put the cats to sleep in order to keep them from hurting people. I know alot of people that would put their animals down before giving them to someone else. I, personally, wouldn't do it, but I understand that everyone feels that no one else can give their pets as good a home as they -- and I understand even more the thought of someone else owning my pets.

People will do what they'll do, whether it's right or wrong. The animals are in a better place, that's what counts.

I also agree that the dogs weren't dumb --- dogs are dogs. They chase cats. They catch cats. They don't know better.
