To Karen Acton: There is no such thing as a “Kill Shelter.” Every Shelter Vet, at some point, will euthanize animals under his/her care (this is a part of the job, and he/she has trained for it.). This is due to the animal having an incurable disease, and/or not being able to be helped, meaning the illness costs too much to fix, or the animal is too far gone to help. The cat could be an old feral cat with pneumonia that is so advanced the cat is gasping for breath; or it could be a group of puppies that have a terrible case of Parvovirus, but there is no room, or no money (supplies), or no one to treat them. Where there are animals, there will be animals that need to be euthanized. It is a terrible sadness, and I wish it was different. But to turn our heads away from helping animals (even if it is euthanasia) is unthinkable! Then you have a society that ignores the suffering of their animals, and the animals die alone, and in agony. This labeling shelters as “kill shelters,” or “no kill shelters” is not exactly truthful. Every good shelter will have euthanasia. It might be at vet clinics outside the shelter, but there is no getting around euthanasia. We don’t label Vet Clinics as “Kill Vet Clinics,” though, even though animals are euthanized there. Euthanasia due to pet overpopulation is an extremely touchy subject where shelters and the community are concerned; however, pet overpopulation must be dealt with since pet breeders and irresponsible humans allow animals in their care to re-produce, and do not get them fixed, and dump them. The shelter bears the brunt of irresponsible people in the community. After seeing how some other countries do not euthanize for pet overpopulation, and the animals are just left to fend for themselves, and suffer so much, I have come to the conclusion that humane euthanasia is the lesser of the two evils. However, I am glad there are shelters like this one in this video that help the animals get homes that would otherwise be euthanized.

The thing with people is that they can understand what's happening. Animals are just confused, scared, and helpless.

Give them all a chance some of us like older cats that have already been traimed

An anecdote should not define a breed, particularly when we don't know the details of the situation. "BABIES" in particular tend to do things to animals that put them in a very difficult position; you'd probably snap too if someone pulled your tail (which contains the lower spinal cord) or aggressively got in your face after you gave them every warning you could to stop doing that. Dogs end up in shelters almost ALWAYS due to human incompetence (or apathy). Assuming that the dogs are just "dangerous" is ignorant and bigoted. Obviously human little kids are perfect angels who NEVER do anything hurtful, even unknowingly...give me a break.
