      @@Will324... yep. If kids are brought up with no empathy it's a nightmare for others later. Some parents and grandparents don't care if they see kids hounding or hurting insects or animals and some parents don't even know that an animal suffers all the feelings and pain of a human. God says we must regard the life of the beast in scripture.
      He refers to animals as "beast" but not the same as humans use the word beast.

      @@earnold1896 Jesus said
      "It was said to them of olden time, 'Honor thy Heavenly Father and thy Earthly Mother, and their commandments, that thy days may be long upon the Earth'. And next was given this commandment: 'Thou shalt not kill,' for life is given to all by God, and that which God has given, let not man take away. For I tell you truly, from one Mother Proceeds all that lives upon the earth. Therefore he who kills, kills his brother. And from him will the earthly mother turn away, and will pluck from him her quickening breasts. and he will be shunned by her angels, and Satan will have his dwelling in his body. And the flesh of slain beasts in his body will become his own tomb. For I tell you truly, he who kills, kills himself, and whosoever eats the flesh of slain beasts, eats of the body of death. And their death will become his death. For the wages of sin is death. Kill not, neither eat the flesh of your innocent prey, lest you become the slaves of Satan. For that is the path of sufferings, and it leads unto death. But do the Will of God, that his angels may serve you on the way of life. Obey, therefore, the words of God: 'Behold, I have given you every herb, bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to everything that creepeth upon the Earth wherein there is breath of Life, I give every green herb for meat. Also the milk of everything that moveth and that liveth upon each shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given unto them, so I give their milk unto you. But flesh, and the blood which quickens it, shall ye not eat."

      Not for some people, I lost a long time friend when she got pregnant. I explained to her that she is not having a puppy, kitten or bird and that when she gets tired of the baby she won't be able to sell or give it away like every pet she had for the last 30 years.
      Yes, I had had enough of that behavior from her and felt a need to make a hurtful statement!

      Humans are the absolute worst species on the planet. How hard is it to ask for help with all the resources available? These are probably the same ignoramuses who think it’s a great idea to not have their animals fixed so they can have kittens and puppies, only to dump them or give them to ppl who would harm them.😢
      I only hope these humans are dumped the same way in their hour of need. Sorry not sorry. I ate apples and peanut butter for months so I could take care of all of my pets and worked several jobs until I was able to get back on my feet. You are their pack/family. They would never abuse or abandon you. People who would do this lack empathy, compassion, loyalty and kindness.😞
      I’m not surprised Mother Nature is doing her best to kill off the real virus 🦠, humans.
      Be better, humans!! 😡
      I am genuinely grateful, however, to ppl who are doing whatever it takes to help these furry victims as well as to those who donate, volunteer and foster.🙏🏼🫶🏼

    The problem is that people view animals as property and not as family. So, when they are having a hard time maintaining their lifestyle or when there is an accidental litter, an unexpected illness, or when they dislike the animal's behavior, they dump them the same way you throw away a toy that doesn't work.

    We've been on remote mountain trips and found domestic animals left there to be eaten or fend. Unfortunately, they are usually too terrified to be caught and run off. We recently trapped and adopted a kitten apparently dumped in our neighborhood. These dumpers need to be prosecuted.
    With COVID there was a rise in taking pets, and it was predictable that those selfish people who only wanted them during COVID lockdown, would dump them when life returned to "normal."

    People during covid needed an outlet, so they adopted pets and soon as they went back to work, they dumped them back at the shelter, plus the animals they bought. Thousands of illegal aliens, borded the busses, and left their pets behind at the border, another catastrophe rescues are dealing with..Bad economy means people can't afford to feed and care for their pets. Housing laws change constantly, and people cannot keep their pets. Shelters and rescues cannot take found and unwanted pets in without an appt..Lost pets will not see their owners because of this.

    Thank you for exposing this. This is happening in AZ too. All the Shelters switched their policy at the same time and started charging people to surrender a pet. Even Good Samaritans! They also stopped allowing walk-ins, and started making people make an appointment, with the same long wait of 1-2 months. This set off an increase in strays. That was a couple years ago, and now, the combination of rising cost of living, with people just struggling to pay for everything, and the Shelters have been battling Distemper outbreaks for over a year. So the biggest one just closed recently to finally address the problem. All 4 of those things are bad news for the pets out there. 😥

      It costs everywhere. Just lots of places they don't think it's important to keep your pets healthy. There was a friendly cat in my neighbourhood who looked like a zombie. I figured it must be a stray, so I took it to Animal Services. Turns out it has a microchip and an owner down the street. They just *never once took the cat to a vet so generation after generation of ear mites had CHEWED A HOLE IN ITS HEAD* I shudder thinking of the constant pain this poor cat must have been in. But to some people, having a pet means food and water and that's it. This poor cat was weeping pus from its eyes but its idiot owners didn't notice or care.

I need to fix my male dog soon, the female is always the first one we need to fix coz they get prego. The cycle never ends anyways, humans are so hardheaded.
