Oh and by the way...

I am one of those people who gripes about people giving up pets, HOWEVER of course I understand unforseen circumstances! I actually had a lady with cancer come to my shelter and hand me her three cats. I cried with her and I hugged her and told her they'd be well taken care of. There's a big difference in that situation as opposed to the situations where people come in handing me animals because they're moving to California the next day or some other stupied reason. I highly doubt anybody here is talking about those unforseen situations when we talk poorly of people who give animals away. I think you may be reading a bit too much into it.

I have to witness a lot of bad situations and experience a lot of irresponsible people with all my work in shelters. It is really horrendous and painful to encounter on a daily basis. I think that gives me a right to call Joe Blow stupid and irresponsible for throwing his 13 year old Lab at me saying he's too big (umm yeah, he all of a sudden grew after 13 yrs?).

PS - can you edit out the cuss word? We have some youngsters on the board. Thanks!
I agree with aly
