Disposa-Dogs

I grow weary of people posting their unwanted pets (mostly dogs) on sites like freecycle and craigslist. It really disturbs me that people do this. If they're getting rid of their dogs because they don't have time to care for them, I think that they should have to give up any children they have too. Pets are part of the family, not some object they can own.

WHY DO WE CARE? OUR REASON D'ETRE!

Every year in our nation, animal organizations take in, care for and attempt to adopt out millions of pets who, through no fault of their own can no longer be cared for by their families, are born without an awaiting home, have been abused or abandoned, or are just lost, but have no identification and therefore no way back home.

Although precise data is not available, it is estimated that 5-10 million American pets are taken in by shelters and rescue groups each year. Of which, 3-4 million are euthanized by often under funded animal care and control organizations, as a heartbreaking way to manage the numbers of homeless and unwanted pets in our society. Additionally, these statistics do not take into account the many free roaming and feral animals (estimated to be in the tens of millions) that fend for themselves in our neighborhoods.

Not only do these animals we claim to love suffer greatly, but also communities spend millions of dollars to admit, round up, house, adopt out or euthanize homeless animals, and free roaming and feral pets can annoy a public that has no understanding of their circumstances. In addition, this tragedy takes an enormous emotional toll on those who handle related issues on their community's behalf.

Do we not set the tone for our society by the way that we treat, and honor our responsiblity towards those that are dependent upon us?

If you have pets, or are considering adding a pet to your family, please learn about your pet's lifetime needs, and care for your pet responsibly. You will be a part of the solution!
