I agree that animal shelters should be supported - in the country I live in there can only be no-kill shelters (by law)and they care for a large number of animals and the costs are astronomical. My sister is a volunteer in one of these and I got my third cat from them (I found the other two in the street). I makes me so angry to see how many pets are abandoned each year, especially just before the summer holidays. I can't honestly understand how people can abandon their pets - now you can find so many purebreeds as well, people pay a fair amount of money for them, wait until the breeder has the one they want and then… they abandon them or even kill them. Having pets means that you have to sacrifice something and I think people should think before just getting one but hey, they pay you back a thousand times. Some people tend to forget that animals have feeling too:
