Dear BAT GIRL and Carole:

I could not agree with you more...what could be wrong with people who would give up one pet in favour or another??? What COULD they be thinking, if anything???

Like each of you, I believe that if you take a pet, you take the pet for the life of the pet, however long that may be!! We seem to be living in a "disposable society", if you know what I mean. We are prepared to get rid of any pet which does not please us for whatever trivial reasons. It makes me so MAD, I cannot contain myself.

What can we possibly do to educate people that pets are not disposable?? They are living things with thoughts and feelings and a full range of emotions.

Carole, I am SO sad for SAM...is there anything that you could do if you can find him?? Maybe you could take him to an animal shelter....no one would have to know that you had helped him...I feel so sad for him; obviously he knows that he is not wanted; my heart breaks for him over here in Montreal...regards from Deborah
