While Sue Sternberg is NOT my favorite person, by a long shot, I do agree with Clara4457.
Every shelter worker is cleaning up the messes made by other people, people who don't care. Shelter workers do the best they can with far too little time, money and space - and far, far too many dogs that were dumped in their lap.
As disturbing as things like this may be, it is important to remember to place the blame where it belongs - not with the shelter workers who do the best they can in a difficult, thankless job, but with the back-yard breeder, puppy mills and irresponsible pet owners.
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
