In reply to the discussion: Dogs killed over unpaid fines [View all]jtuck004
(15,882 posts)10. Not surprising. Most animal shelters have worse morals than Ferguson, MO.
They are run to make a department bigger, create municipal jobs, sometimes for personal gain. Almost never to help people with their pets in their homes. The animals pay the price, and that is why we are still killing 4-6 million a year killed, a number that hasn't changed much in the past 30 years. And it won't change until we pretend that what is happening is effective for anyone but a few two-legged monsters.
Makes the word "shelter" a cruel joke.
