HEY GUYS, 🐾
HERE'S A COMMENTARY FROM MY MOM!
WHAT DOES EUTHANASIA MEAN? WELL, IT'S DERIVED
FROM THE GREEK LANGUAGE MEANING "GOOD DEATH". IT MEANS TO
DELIBERATELY END A LIFE DUE TO PAIN AND SUFFERING. BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT'S ALWAYS
HAPPENING IN OUR SHELTERS TODAY. DUE TO THE OVERCROWDING, TOO MANY HEALTHY
ANIMALS ARE BEING EUTHANIZED JUST FOR SPACE. THESE ANIMALS DO NOT DESERVE TO
DIE! THEY SHOULD BE IN THEIR FOREVER HOMES, LOVED AND CARED FOR TILL THEIR
END.
HERE ARE SOME OF THE REASONS THAT OUR SHELTERS ARE OVERCROWDED:
- PUPPIES AND KITTENS BORN WHO ARE UNWANTED AND HAVE LITTLE CHANCE OF
FINDING A HOME. THAT'S WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO SPAY OR NEUTER YOUR PET.
- TOO MANY UNREGULATED BREEDERS.
- AS FAMILIES ADJUST TO POST PANDEMIC LIFE, THEY ARE FINDING IT DIFFICUTLT
TO CARE FOR THEIR PETS OR THEY NO LONGER WANT THEM.
- HOUSING CHALLENGES, AS PETS ARE NOT ACCEPTED OR THERE ARE WEIGHT OR BREED
RESTRICTIONS.
- LACK OF ADOPTERS OR FOSTERS.
I WILL NOT DISAGREE THAT THERE ARE REASONS TO EUTHANIZE AN ANIMAL, AS IN THE
CASE OF PAIN AND SUFFERING. BUT OUR SHELTERS ARE IN CRISIS WITH TOO MANY
HEALTHY ANIMALS IN NEED OF A HOME AND THE SHELTERS HAVE NO MORE SPACE TO
ACCOMODATE THEM, THEREFORE, MANY ARE EUTHANIZED, THIS IS A SAD REALITY, BUT WE
NEED TO MAKE CHANGES. SUPPORT THE RESCUES THROUGH FOSTERING OR ADOPTING A PET.
CONTACT OUR POLITICIANS TO MAKE CHANGES TO IMPROVE OUR SHELTERS. SO, HERE'S A
THOUGHT.......

ACTUALLY HAVE TO CHANGE THEM YOURSELF" ~ Andy Warhol
