I HATE

We live in a society that assumes everything is disposable. And that includes most people's pets. It sickes me to the core. If you haven't heard the story of Ella... here it is. This happened not far from where my office used to be. I hope she rots in hell.

I posted a rant on here a couple of years ago about the people down the street who let their puppy run around in the yard and my little girl and I saw the puppy get run over. So did the owner. What did she think would happen when she let a very young puppy run around in the front yard? That it would stay on command?

We still get upset when we think about it.

That disgusts me. I'm the type of person that wants to save every chinchilla I come across, because my girls get top notch care. But, as my mom always tells me, "You can only save one. Give the best care you can to the ones you have."

I don't think they put in that article that she was caged next to a big bag of dog food. Sick, sick, sick. We're the same way. We have a basset hound, three cats, and a 10 year old gold fish. *lol*

I'm involved in a rescue organization. This week alone, over 80 dogs were surrendered, mostly to kill shelters, because people don't know any better. There's such a shortage of people who are willing to foster these creatures - they don't know what's going on, only that they must have done something wrong.

While visiting a client, I heard a woman talking about getting rid of her dog because he was 10 years old. I couldn't help it, I just said, "You realize that your dog will be killed, don't you? Who adopts a 10 year old dog? How are you going to explain that to your grandchildren, that the dog was too old? What are they going to think about you?"

My brother lives on a farmette, and they get animals dumped on their private lane on a regular basis. Thank heavens they're such animal lovers - they take them all in.
