I was at the dentist today getting my first root canal (no lollipop) and while in the waiting room reading one of the magazines I came across an article (4 rope'r actually) about no kill shelters. They had a picture of a white cat that looked horribly diseased ridden and several other pictures of these no kill shelters where the animals get very little care if at all and the living conditions are so poor I couldn't stand looking at the page before turning it and tearing up some.
Originally, I was all for no kill shelters - I love animals way too much and they don't deserve to die because us humans aren't responsible enough to FUCKING NEUTER OR SPAY our pets.
I feel a little torn between the two types of shelters. Granted there are very nice no kill shelters out there and they are truly a gift. Animals in these horrible no kill shelters like they presented do NOT need a life like that. Some of you will say "they are just cats, etc." It's just not true when you have one sitting at home you love as much as a family member.
Oddly enough, I could care less about orphanages and the poor. Put a suffering animal in front of me and I'm liable to kill the person who put this animal through pain. They are defenseless.
I'm so torn, help me out here.
