It's just one of the other things that I despise about Muslims. They do not like dogs.
Don't get carried away, the United States puts down thousands of dogs a year and I don't hear you complaining about it.
You're comparing apples to oranges.
Not really Lucy.
I live in a state with some of the crappiest rates for animal welfare. Our shelters - for those counties that actually HAVE shelters - routinely put healthy adoptable animals down simply because no one wants them. Entire litters of puppies end up being euthanized. People still drown kittens. Spay and neuter policies are improving but far from widespread. Dogs live out their lives tied to chains. That's a reality around here.
Agree.
Often times animals are used and abused in this country, people don't bother to get their animals fixes and they end up unnecessarily being put to sleep.
It's a horrible thing, to go to the shelter (and those people care) and evaluate animals to go to a rescue in the NE where there are more homes...and have to see entire litters of puppies turned in...or worse, a litter and the mother, and the litter gets taken and the mother left behind (wtf?). Or "kitten season" - yes, there is a kitten season - litter after litter. Most get put down.
