Having said that, we also have a responsability to God, ourselves and the wprld in general to take care or it which includes the animals. I have many lovely cats, a few dogs and feed two small feral colonies. I'm pained each time I read in ther paper of dogs and cats on their final hours and then to read of their sad demise. One of my house cats is an "11th hour rescue" but the one thing all my little family members and many fof the erals have in common is they have been "fixed" (like they were broken). This is a wise choice in the reduction in the shelter population. My suggestion to the world is; if you have a four legged extended family and you can no longer keep them, call a rescue group or get in contace with your local SPCA for a list of groups that can help. God bless. I am by no means a scollar in anything but I do believe that man was given dominion over the animals of the earth.

I never realized the numbers were so astronomically high. But of course there are almost 7 billion people - and if we insist on abusing/killing/eating animal products these numbers will only increase. The minimum one can do, if they are truly concerned with animal suffering is to go vegan. At the very least this ends animal's as commodities of exploitation. Unfortunately, even "free range" dairies are brutal to cows and calves. The cow still must be impregnated (artificially) - within 24 hours her baby is removed from her. If it is female she'll eventually join the milking herd... If he's a male, he'll either be sent for immediate slaughter, or confined till he's 4 months old to become "veal". Also, most cheeses require "rennent" which is part of the contents of calves intestines... so you see even small farm dairies do not eliminate cruelty by any means... Thanks for inviting comment - I think going vegan is a wonderful solution to 95% of all animal abuse! :) www.humanemyth.org Certainly when I discovered the abuses done to animals I encountered “sticker shock”.

The other rescue groups are floundering too. Sad, sad, sad. We can see the impact of the economy through our involvement with vizsla rescue, which is totally swamped with animals.

I also am a vegetarian and only eat dairy from free range farms, which is HARD to find and more expensive. Imagine how many lives would be saved if people stopped eating cows...

What has the human race come to? How can we treat animals like this? I personally am a vegan so I am especially ashamed of factory farmers, furriers, and certain others. If you saw a factory farm I guarantee you would stop eating meat. And as for the economy, thats NO REASON to abandon your pet and its happening here where I live to. Shelters are filled to the brim and theyre even losing foster homes because foster parents have to move cuz they cant afford their houses anymore. This is so sad. Thank you for publicizing this.
