It is so sad when economic depression affects animals. I find that it happens a lot in my area. My city in particular has high unemployment. Not because people aren't making money (Business is at an all time high) but because employers are firing people before they can get benifits. High turnover is good for them because then they don't have to pay for benifits, retirement etc. Im glad I have the job I do, otherwise Id be like a lot of people I know, bouncing around, not sure were my next paycheck will come from.
