I work at the city's animal care and control center and everyday dozens of dogs and cats are euthanzine. It is not a pretty site and not one that we take pictures of. And guess what the majority of the dogs pts are already neutered or spayed. when it is an owner surrender they are pts. strays (which the owner doesnt claim because they dont want to pay the impoundment fee) do get 10 days to be adopted. Spaying and neutering doesnt stop the euthanzining. I will say the the people on pet talk know that pets are for life, but sadly some of the general public. see a dog or cat and say oh how cute. thats what I want, but then it grows into this hugh dog and now its no longer that cute little ball of fur. and it ate the couch or peed on the rug. so its now a bad dog all because the owner didnt train it or think into the future of how big it is going to be. Thats where public education comes in . I take my days that i am off and go into the schools and teach pet care and pet safety buy teaching the school children just maybe maybe some day euthanzineing will not be done in the vast numbers that is being done to day. We also pts the Humane society animals for them. they claim to be a no kill shelter. but they walk the dogs and cats across the street to us to pts. I could go on and on but will stop here. I would hope that other animal care and control centers do not take pictures either.
