As a kid growing up in rural Georgia, we had a county dumpster at the end of the road from our house. We pulled out dozens of kittens and puppies that had been thrown in it and cared for them until we could find them new homes. Almost 50 years later, I am at the other end of the county and about a month ago somebody dumped a box of puppies at the end of the road. No shortage of douchebags.
We must protect the puppies and the kittens. It is one of the roles that we have on this planet of ours.
I wish we could use people who do that for medical experiments and target practice, personally.
