    God bless Dr. Mark Cole and the staff at the Abbotsford Animal Hospital.

    Are they (OSPCA) still going to euthanize some 100 animals?
    I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
    Death thought about it.
    CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.

    About 100 animals have been PTS already. To my understanding, they were the worst cases.

    From the article:

    After 102 animals were euthanized last week, the shelter was emptied of the last remaining animals Friday, forcing the charity to layoff staff Monday, Cross said.
    It ends there. The rest are fostered in clinics, homes, and temporary shelter outside the building in Newmarket.

    Oh, thank God. I'm so glad they weren't talking about 100 MORE to be euth'd.

    Many, many thanks for all those caring people who stepped up to the plate to keep this tragedy from extending further than it already had.

    This line especially made me sad:
    “All are in good shape,” Cole said, adding it was a shame the OSPCA didn’t ask the community for help earlier.
    I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
    Death thought about it.
