Sad isn't it? And when the dog starts getting antsy (stir crazy--get nippy) or has an 'accident' in the apt ...they are shipped off to Animal control to most likey be put down. Many people are very irresponsible and selfish when comes to animals.

Your singing to the choir!

I see it all the time. We see "yuppies" (another term for overindulged suburban kids) get these big show dogs, Rottweilers, German Shepards, Golden Retrievers, Labradors etc. and complain they can't find apartments. These big dogs need room that urban areas don't have.

The dog issue is really just an overlap of the gentrification of urban areas. When the suburban kids move in they want to bring suburban living to urban areas. They want big dogs, bike lanes, big SUV's etc. not recognizing the infrastructure is not conducive to these things and the population density is to great for them.

This is exactly the reason pigs make such great pets. When they get antsy, or you get sick of them, you can just go ahead and eat them. I think they're tastier than store bought, too.

True. I just spent most of this week at the local animal control shelter trying to get a sweet dog adopted. It is so sad to see how irresponsible some people are.
