Oh my lord... you know, almost nothing surprises me any longer. The fact is, animals sit low on the totem pole here in the USA. You'd practically have to say that there was a Mexican w/o his papers or a terrorist in your back yard to get them to do anything.

Our society today is just sad. We are a throw away society. What ever we don't want, we chuck it out. Whether it be food, appliances, animals and other people. Grandma and Grandpa take too much time to care for... we'll just put them in this cheap old folks home because we can't afford anything better... Or we'll let the state come in and take custody. Unwanted cats or dogs? Well, they know that when they put them out people like us take them in. We're enabling them by doing this, but we don't want to see the animals suffer because of their former owners' lack of caring.

Unless the people in the US get their morals and priorities straight, and aren't all influenced by money, greed, and improving their own lots, this country is going to go to hell. Canada is looking mighty fine right now.
