I ...What did I say? The PETA "spinning" has begun!<br /><br />I wonder if the "Director<br />Domestic Animals and Wildlife Rescue" is the one who ordered the lying, killing, and dumping.<br /><br />Let's not forget the lying.Chas S.

Each year, 3 to 4 million dogs and cats must be euthanized in animal shelters, and countless others suffer far worse fates—languishing for years in cramped cages, or dying slow, painful deaths on the streets from exposure, starvation, diseases, or untreated injuries.<br /><br />Providing a loving, peaceful exit to unwanted animals who were slated to die badly, by being shot, gassed, or injected with a paralytic agent that causes them to suffocate—fully aware and panicked—while their organs seize up, isn’t a crime. It is a kindness. <br /><br />What should be criminal is abandoning animals when they are no longer convenient to care for and allowing animals to reproduce—as breeders, pet stores, and people who don’t spay or neuter their animals do—when so many are already dying for lack of good homes.<br /><br />PETA works every day, through educational campaigns, by sterilizing animals in our mobile clinic, and by subsidizing spay/neuter surgeries at private vets’ offices, to bring about the day when every dog and cat is born into a home awaiting with open arms, but as long as breeders and pet stores are in business, animal shelters are forced to make heartbreaking decisions and euthanize unadopted animals.<br /><br />If this upsets you as much as it does us, please help us end the killing: Have your animals spayed or neutered and help others to do the same, urge your city to pass a mandatory spay/neuter ordinance, and never buy animals from breeders or pet stores.
