I hope that any and all people in charge of this slaughterhouse trying to pass itself off as a shelter (notice in the article that the employee who refused to kill the kittens in this heinous matter remarked that few adoptions seem to have taken place in this chamber of horrors) are thrown in jail for a long time. I hope they are among a population of animal lovers and that the guards look away. And I hope that should they survive the jail they so richly deserve, they are forever barred from any work with any animals, in any capacity.
Everyone involved in this should be locked up.
I’m curious: what is the proper way to put down an animal? I always thought a bullet to the head was relatively quick and humane, but I don’t really know...
Likely soulless inhumans killed them
I don't see how a dog thinking it's out for a walk and not suspecting a thing dying instantly is horrible if it has to be euthanized. The powers that be do, though, but the horribly painful drugs they give animals seem to be Ok.
I don't understand that a bit.
When it comes to animal cruelty, let the punishment fit the crime.
If those were human fetuses, the media’s opinion would switch 180 degrees.
Sad and cruel. I do not even understand this.
One must only support only a “no kill shelter.”
My dogs and cats are from only no kill shelters. My two dogs would lay down their lives to protect me. My two cats are worthless but they have convinced me that they love me. The cats are liars but they make me happy as I care for their ever need. My most worthless cat sleeps in my bed. The other cat would also but cat one will not allow her in my bed.
Oddly cat two hung around our shop for a year and we fed her. On the days the shop was closed we always went there to make sure she had food. She trained me well. When the weather really got brutally cold she begged to be let into the shop. My wife just put her in a carrier and brought her home. She became the most loving and sweet cat one could imagine. She has absolutely no desire to go outdoors. She is home.
ps
Cats know what you are thinking but they just do not give a damn as long as you do what they want. I am a cat slave.
But my dogs really do love me. My dogs are 80 an 90 pounds of love. They are gentle and kind. If one tried to harm my wife or I they would be ferocious. Dogs do know instinctively if you are a bad guy. If a stranger to my dogs comes to my house they are protective of my wife. Not aggressive but protective. The exact moment she or I show acceptance to the stranger, they will run up and demand to be petted.
The graciousness of humans is often defined by how they treat their cats and dogs.
All the damned commercials on TV begging for $0.19 - $0.63 a day to save Dogs and Cats. Thats these jerks.

I don’t see any difference in the killing of an animal for consumption or the killing of an animal due to overpopulation and it’s not been adopted and euthanizing is the current best next choice. People and animals are at different levels. God said so.
Even good managers have to handle unfun tasks in keeping a balance of their responsibilities. If we opened up a cat or dog meat market then there would likely be much less euthanized. Maybe we can ship excess cats and dogs to countries that consume them?
Animals were put here to be of use to us, food, comfort, clothing...people get to make the choice and it’s kind of silly to think and extremely poor stewardship (imo) that people spend huge amounts of money for specifically bred animals while millions get euthanized.
God loves all of His creations including animals yet people have prioritized some as valuable pets spending to puchase them and clothes and beds and toys and expensive foods etc for them while others are just food source and others pests or nuisance.
No, I’m not vegetarian (anymore), grew up with lots of pets and feral cats around, watched some do stupid things that killed them or lead to them having to be put down. Went thru the phase of”save the animals at all costs”, then met Jesus and learned God has an order for all He created, people get to make choices and are responsible for those choices and will account to Him for them, but most people live like and think like they are in charge.
We are commanded to hold the lives of lesser creatures in regard, in addition to being their stewards. Don't be cruel to them, don't terrorize them, even those destined to be food on the table or who have the misfortune to be inconvenient with no one to care for them. Consider their fear and pain, be gentle.
That's what we as Christians and Jews have been commanded to do. This is not doing so and is therefore wrong. We'll all be held to account for our actions in this life, including treatment of animals, or mistreatment of them as the case may be.
All too many Christians have the strange, erroneous belief that because we have dominion over the animals, that this means we can treat them without regard, even with total disdain. Wrong. Read your scripture. Jews, your scripture contains this too.
