Animal Lovers! We Did It!

Yes it is progress in the right direction. I just hope and pray that the other counties follow suit and soon. You and I with computers.... mine is giving me such a fit that I'm constantly having to reboot to get something to work. I HATE IT! UGH! I've even did a system restore a couple of times which worked but only for a short time then it's back to the same ole same old. Hubby wants to get me a new one, which is much better than this one but (aren't they always better than what we have) but we're saving up for a truck because the one he has now reminds him too much of his parents who just passed a couple of years ago and I'm not comfortable riding in it not alone, driving it so it has to go so I've told him that the computer can wait till we get a truck and get rid of this one. Always something to itch our tails, eh? How much is your internet bill?

CatsandDogs, This a grand move in the right direction. I've had animals that I have had to be put down because of health issues and it just tears me apart, but I am always with them to the very end. I can't imagine what an animal goes through to be put down in such an inhumane way in a gas chamber. On the network news the other night, there was a report that was telling about all the animals that have had to be surrendered because of the BP diaster. People that have had to leave because their businesses had gone under and couldn't take their animals with them are leaving them at shelters. The shelters were trying to find homes for them but it was becoming an issue where many of them would have to be put down. The next night a report came on that was telling that all the animals that had been shown in the previous nights newscast had found homes. People were calling in from across the country to adopt them. I'm in tears just thinking about this. it makes my heart feel glad for them. If news stations could just do this as a regular thing it could help many animals find homes. Not just on the local stations, but on the network stations as well.

Hate to be a downer Dawn, but it doesn't necessarily mean the shelters will turn into no kill shelters, it just means that they are doing away with the gas chamber means to kill unwanted animals at these shelters. NYC area did away with the gas chamber means of killing pets only last year, yet for High Kill shelters like AC&C they still kill them via injection

Oh I agree!! But one step at a time, I guess. I'd LOVE to see them all turn into no kill shelters and fix them all so there wouldn't be any more breeding. THAT'S the RIGHT way to do things, let them live out their lives, they don't live long anyways so let them live out their lives on a sanctuary somewhere. I think that's the right way to do things but one thing at a time then maybe we can get there.

No, I wasn't intending to imply that this meant the shelter had gone to no kill...
