Please help fire and prosecute this sick human being.....>>>>>

There is no shelter in my area, but I have personally taken in what I can.

Curious out of interest, or just looking to stir?

As the link I posted shows, it is possible to have a 94% save rate.

There are also humane ways to deal with a growing problem.

Curious.

It is always easier for people to get riled up about a cause, any cause not just this one, and sign petitions. It is quite another thing to get boots on the ground and in the trenches trying to solve a problem/make a difference.

Yes, it's possible to have a 94%+ save rate. Our pound runs a little higher than that.
Yes, there are humane ways to deal with, not a growing, but ongoing problem. Owner education and a little incentive is the most effective. Since instituting a spay a neuter rebate program, we've seen our intake numbers drop.

The other problem we are seeing is the number of dogs being dumped. There are worse things than death including starvation or injuries from being hit, shot or fighting with other animals.

Thanks for making an effort and taking in what you can. That's more than some poeple are willing to do.

Thanks for turning another thread political kim.  Good job.  Consider my signature added.

It's impossible to reply to a post seeking removal of a political person without delving into the political motivation behind the post.  But what is most interesting is the few people who "signed" the petition who don't even know this lady or live in that county.  Impotent people sitting on their hands writing emails.  At least do like they used to do.  Stand arm in arm against the police and protest.  Don't click a mouse and think it will do anything.  By the way, research this veterinarian -- you might actually agree with her positions.  Oh, but that might involve more than one mouse click.  Kim

I'm impotent  

Sounds like Kim had "issues" to me.

Wow.

Has anyone ever been driving down the interstate and get to thinking that maybe human population control wouldn't be such a bad idea to. 

Derailed, on my way into town today, yes.

No worries, man. Not afraid to answer honest questions.

There'd been a rash of 'drop offs' and feral births in my neighbor in the last couple years, and after seeing kittens in my carport I caught the ones I could and after not being able to any no kill shelters in my area I (after consulting the wifey-wife) took in what I caught.

They've made good pets, as in my mind they're ultra-thankful. 

Just doubled my pet food bills. 

I'm centered enough in the real world to realize that not all can be saved. Either due to the economics, lack of homes, or more often then not they're not physically able to be saved (be it health or temperament issues). But they can also be 'humanely' euthanized, and not forced to watch others die in front of them, let alone be tortured by seeing their offspring, or parents, killed while they too wait to die. And kim's story about killing ducks is simply a non sequitur. They are wild animals killed for food purposes. The cats and dogs Ms. Blackmar has slaughtered are domesticated animals, and quite often were once beloved pets.

Totally different IMO.

Can't say that I'd use that term, but I'm with you on the spirit of that statement.

Ah ha, now I know which thread to cry in when I see a Pike take 3 of the 7 ducklings.

When I see a male house cat kill kittens. In front of the mother. That has her tail in the air 3 minutes later.

Here you go, in advance:

You know Johnny, it's a noble effort on your part for sticking up for something you believe in.

But these folks like kim & Dave are wired differently.  Their beliefs are just as strong as yours.  Not much a person can do about it except maybe file it away in your memory for what type person they are.

Thanks, T.

I'm betting you've seen the vids and heard the employee testimony that's been hitting the MSM in Houston same as I have.

It's good that the city council has taken notice of this as well.

Investigation can be a good thing, especially if you have nothing to hide.

Yeah, terrible thing to live in the real world. So why don't you bleeding hearts piss misty and fill me a river.

Memory. 

Millions of kids get aborted in this country on an political agenda. Right in front of their mothers.

And you want me to piss misty about an animal that would be better suited for food.

Now that I am aware of the agenda, I'll be more than happy to submit to the candy ass program. After all, they have a camp set up for this, just for people like me.

Ahahhahahahahha

So, beat down someone who's trying to make it better? The real world is a ruthless thing, terrible as you put it.. So, the "thing" is living in a terrible world. It's populated by many who could care less about others. Everyone has their nitch, Johnny's is that of an activist; a doer, not a casual bystander of life who expects everything to be done by everyone else.

 Whoa, I am out of this conversation....FWIW..I have seen photos of kids dying in Africa of starvation...It all saddens my heart deeply...I wish I could just win the lottery and help make this world a better place.  Peace to all.

One morning an elderly man was walking on a nearly deserted beach. He came upon a boy surrounded by thousands and thousands of starfish. As eagerly as he could, the youngster was picking them up and throwing them back into the ocean.

Puzzled, the older man looked at the young boy and asked, "Little boy, what are you doing?"

The youth responded without looking up, "I'm trying to save these starfish, sir."

The old man chuckled aloud, and queried, "Son, there are thousands of starfish and only one of you. What difference can you make?"

Holding a starfish in his hand, the boy turned to the man and, gently tossing the starfish into the water, said, "It will make a difference to that one!"

It's not about money and it's not about saving the world. It's about finding one thing in life and unselfishly doing what you can to make it better for somone or something. Only you know what talents you have to offer. They could be anything...construction, musical, or just showing up to lend a hand. There are plenty of things that need your talents and time in the community. Even 2-3 hours a week does make a difference. Find your starfish.

we just moved to Panama & there are thousands of homeless dogs here , which is not so bad as it never drops below 75* f & food is not impossible to find , dogs survived for thousands of years without us to look after them but some are so skinny & sick with Tick fever . We rescued a very skinny female , pregnant yet again with tick fever , we have her about 10 weeks now , we had to abort the pregnancy & were still not sure she was going to make it ! She has filled out again & has a lot of energy now , the tick fever may never go away but she is far better than she was , 3 times she lost so much blood we figured she was a goner & had to have transfusions , but she is now a good guard dog , it may not have helped the other dogs we have seen around but it sure made a difference to her !!

One day I'm going to steal that story, but I'll make sure you get the credit. 

To make a difference just requires starting somewhere.
