Some do, especially in rural areas where there are no tax dollars for such expensive luxuries as "animal shelters".
Shooting dogs in the head is a very humane way to put them down.
Perhaps those who label themselves "animal lovers" object to the blunt reality of the method.
It leaves no doubt the dog is dead. There is no image of a dog who is just "sleeping" and has stopped breeding.
Many seem simply to urgently deny the reality of death, and the reality that all of us are going to die.
“stopped breeding” should be “stopped breathing”...
Well, speaking as a fellow mammal with a very similar nervous system and above 80% of the same DNA, if the commies take over and I'm given the choice, I think I'd much prefer fentanyl or about any opioid OD over being shot in the head. I'd even pay for it myself over the bullet.
