I Must Say This

I just received an email from a friend in Southern Cali.

It was about two small (adorable) senior females dumped at Downey Animal Shelter.

I will never understand the dead hearts of some of these people who think it is acceptable to dump their beloved family pets, especially seniors, at a high kill shelter.

If I could ask them a few questions it would be:

How can you take away these animals right to live out the rest of their remaining time in a home, but instead leave them at a kill shelter to die alone and scared?

Do you have children of your own?  Even though I am not a hateful person, I hope that if you do have children that one day when you are brittle and old that they tire of you as you have of your dogs who depended on you for safety and love that they will have no qualms about driving you to the nearest old folks home and leaving you there never to visit or call.   And I hope that this facility is one that is sub par and known for health violations and neglect so that you can see just how much it hurts to be discarded by those that are suppose to love and protect you.


I have more questions I would love to ask them right before I take a deep breath and proceed to punching them in the face and spitting on them.  These sorts of people are trash and have no business owning an animal ever again.  They also deserve to know just what a bottom feeder of society they really are.

I wonder, do these people really not have any clue what shelter life is like for these animals or do they just have such a hole in their chest where their heart should be that they could care less.  Sadly I have come to the conclusion that 90% of people who dump their pets just simply do not care at all.

I wish that there were harsher laws/penalties and repercussions for people who are so quick to dump their animals.  Maybe a national database that they can be listed on that would allow others the ability to deny them an animal ever again.  I pray for something like that every night.  It is just too bad and such a testament to how lazy and selfish we are as a society that this is acceptable to so many people and that our shelter system and basic acceptance in this world for these types of people continues to allow it.

If any of our readers are in that area of Cali or happens to have close contacts to people in that area please do spread the word for this pair.  They will need luck on their side to make it out of that death camp known as Downey!
