BTW, yesterday’s local paper reported over 2,400 animals had been euthanized at the local shelter last year. For a city of under 30,000 that’s a lot. Part is due to the culture that many from south of the border bring to this country. Lots breed pit bulls for status, guard dogs and/or fighting. Others get a puppy for children and when it gets big, just turn it loose on the highway. And of course, most do not take care to spay or neuter there pets, especially cats, so they breed like rabbits.
Tragic. I shudder because Marley & me the movie is coming out. I love Labs but millions of yuppies will buy Labs and neglect them. Same thing happened with 101 Dalmatians movie. Dalmatians are pretty aggressive dogs.
I have been to New Mexico and even in nice areas of ALBQ like N ALBQ Acres - many people leave their dogs outside. I loathe irresponsible pet owners.
I would bet that the majority of the euthanized animals were cats. Feral cats are a huge problem.
In Palm Beach county alone...they euthanize at least 50 cats a day....due to irresponsible people.
