The way i see it is that child abuse, and the pet overpopulation are directly tied to the human overpopulation.

When you have known as many foster children as i have you wouldn't think twice about comparing human children to the animals in the pounds.

Apples and oranges both grow on trees; both can still get sprayed with pesticides. Both can still suffer from temperature extremes.

I can't stand when people can value life when it suits them, but will turn a blind eye to it the next. Abortion is abortion. Whether it is a human child or a puppy or kitten.
