Reply #13: Have you done volunteer work at vets, animal hospitals or shelters? [View All]

I have extensive experience with such and your argument falls flat. For those of us that actually had to deal directly with the euthanasia of animals know full well of the gravity of the situation.

and by you equating a gun shot to the head via a home made silencer of a bottle of water to a peaceful transition via a sedative as no difference, is to say ridiculous.

While I champion animal rights and choose no kill over euthanasia, sometimes there is no other recourse, especially when you have sick and diseased animals or animals that are so grossly abused that is impossible for them to make the transition to homes or animals that aren't adopted due to age (sadly they are the best ones to adopt in my opinion).

I make nothing from whole cloth. What this guy did was a calculated move. He chose to make a homemade silencer so no one could hear the shot.

He knew perfectly well what he was doing. He chose not to house his pets at a shelter due to cost. But didn't have an issue spending the money to go on vacation.

When you actually have to sit and make the choice over which animals live and which ones die due to over crowding, get back to me then, because it is an incredibly heart wrenching discussion that you have evidently no idea what that is like.

Until we have a proper spay and neuter program nationally, nothing will changed and animals will have to be put down due to over crowding of the shelters.
