All summer, I've been watching a family of four who live down the street from my business chase their dogs....four big labs. These people are destitute and can't even afford to buy their kids decent winter coats, yet they somehow figured they could manage to raise four dogs in their tiny yard with no kennel.....?????????
Needless to say, without a kennel to keep them in place, the dogs ran constantly. They were causing problems for other dog owners and I will admit it was a nuisance because I almost hit a dog one day on my way to work, and one of the kids sprinting into the road after a dog on another. I guess people started complaining and the city cops were called over to talk to the family about it on more than one occasion.
Yesterday my co-worker told me that the dogs wouldn't be a problem anymore. "Oh, they finally siezed them and took them to the Humane Society? Good! I hope they find good homes," I said.
"Not exactly," she replied. "The cops took the dogs out and shot them."
I'm ******! Why did they destroy the dogs like that? It's not like they couldn't find a volunteer to drive them down to the Humane Society. ****, I would have done it! Sure, they may have eventually been euthanized at the shelter, but at least they would have had a chance of being adopted into a loving home.
Sometimes I fukking hate people and the stupid decisions they make. I really do.
And on a side note, why is it that so many welfare cases feel they need to own BIG DOGS? I won't begrudge anyone owning a pet, but to take on multiple animals that they don't have room for that require food, shelter and decent veterinary care when they can't even afford to feed their family without assistance????
Inexcusable.
