I once lived on a 300+ acre farm not too far away from a Big Ten university. I used to dread the end of the school year. Students would just dump their pets out in the country before moving out of town.
I have a friend who lived on about 15 acres outside of a big city. He constantly had dogs being dropped off at the end of his (long) driveway. His daughters would immediately adopt the strays. Then they started breeding, with all the problems that went with it. In a nutshell, he has a mess. I offered to come by and “handle” his problems for him, but the daughters wouldn’t let him. Kind of like most liberals: Too tenderhearted to do what has to be done, and crying because they eventually have to live with the consequences. Just Dang...
This happens near military installations, too.
For the life of me, I just can't understand how somebody could be so cold hearted as to have a pet for a year or so, then callously dump the poor animal off somewhere.
