An Animal shelters story

[GSDOWNER]

For every animal that dies in a shelter there is someone, somewhere responsible for it's death.

The solution rests on all our shoulders.

Very powerful video, but too true tho

If you can watch the other videos on the right hand side, so sad,

As a nation, we claim to love cats and dogs. Millions of households have pets, and billions of dollars are spent yearly on pet supplies and food. But as a nation, we should take a hard, sobering look at a different annual statistic: the millions of dogs and cats given up to shelters or left to die on the streets. And the numbers tell only half the story. Every cat or dog who dies as a result of pet overpopulation—whether humanely in a shelter or by injury, disease, or neglect—is an animal who, more often than not, would have made a wonderful companion, if given the chance. Tremendous as the problem of pet overpopulation is, it can be solved if each of us takes just one small step, starting with not allowing our animals to breed. Spaying and neutering is the first step to a solution

Someone posted this link on the BIGGSD site and my daughter and I watched it. We sobbed throughout and my baby girl turned to me and said she wanted to rescue all the dogs, bless her!!

That is so so sad the poor dogs they lose there life when all they want is love that's why I would never breed again I couldn't stand the thought one of my dogs was just waiting to die in a pound I was lucky with the homes that they went to that's apart from the ones I kept 4 still with me and loved now 8years old

I haven't watched the links. I cry when I watch the dog home adverts on tv. I may watch it when I feel a bit more brave. It does make me sad to realise the horrible things that happen. When I am able to I shall be getting Hannah spayed, because I couldn't handle worrying where the puppies would be going to if she ever were to have a litter. I know that I could never be a breeder.

Omg, I feel so unbelievably sad after watching that.....I was in floods of tears and still as I type this I can barely see my screen Those last images will haunt me

I think the last statement that "the solution rests on all of our shoulders....spay or neuter your pets" says it all, it's up to us to stop this.

Sorry, can't watch these, just read the poems in the other section, and that was enough for me.

I have left a large box of tissues over there if anyone needs them x

Omg I didn't look at any other links other than the one posted and to be honest after looking at those sad faces I couldn't bring myself to look at any more.

I don't think we will ever understand how people can so heartlessly take away these poor dogs lives and to do it in such a painful way is absolutely despicable....
