Stop the Killing!!!! They want to live!!! - Page 1

I've been very alarmed by the tone and tenor of posts by people on this board whose real agenda I am now increasingly suspect of.. They simply "smell" too much like animal rights activists to me. The rhetoric is the same.. Better dead than bred, or maybe just belonging to anyone THEY don't approve of..

What everyone should realize is that the so-called "shelter" industry is a very competitive and conflicted one, with lots of hidden agendas and corruption. Private rescues, despite all good work and lovely intentions, are standing in competition with government contractors and agencies, which make money and budget off of impounded animals. These agencies hardly have the best interests of animals at heart, and would gladly take on more than they can handle, even raiding private rescues, then crying that they must kill so many animals, and need more money.

Interesting article with a lot of insights, here..

Only in America, where wholesale seizure and slaughter of pets is a lucrative and competitive industry.. If it isn't, then where does the money come from? Taxpayers, if all else fails.. Otherwise, a system of fees, fines, forfeitures and impound liens. Just like a police automobile impound, only trading in living creatures, who are handled worse than livestock and usually end up dead.. Still, they want to take more and more..

Stop the suffering !!!!

Better off dead is my motto, rather than a life of misery.

It's a shame that we can't put down humans who cause such suffering.

I think you should call it a day.

Moons.

DDR-DSH   we are animal rights activists. WE ALL ACTIVLY BELIEVE that animals have the right to be kept fed,clean, happy and HEALTHY

Whats really mind boggling to me is that you (DDR-DSH) can still post on this board.  Can someone please explain to me (other than DDR-DSH) why after being convicted of dog abuse this is tolerated?  Ive taken in too many rescues from situations like hers and quite frankly it fucking pisses me off.  And how she can get more dogs - well there is something wrong with that. I'm sure that she wasn't rehabbed. So if she did it once......................

Why cant people like this be blocked from the site? Let the forum vote her off if need be.
