Payton :] Every day some animal is being put to sleep because of a stupid person who treats there animals like crap.
If your going to go and abuse your animal then give to some one or just dont do it.
Animals have feelings to. Every GOOD family treats there pets as if they were a child of there own.
STOP ANIMAL CRUELTY!

roxursoxs people just need to stop abuseing the animals! Are they sick in the head when they do these things the animals need a chance too! 4/9/2008
Rebecca I think that people should write more about what goes on in the animal shelters. I am doing a project on why it is more convenient to get animals from a shelter and not from breeders or stores. I think informing people on what goes on behind the doors of the shelter will make people understand what needs to be done in order for animals to have good loving homes. I think that killing shelters are disgracefu, yes animals need to go and you need to have space but there are not enough advertisements to inform people. I would like to learn more on why it is helpful to rescue animals from shelters. 4/8/2008
Gabrielle : ] A R E Y O U A W E A R T H A T ... the lotion on ur face, the shammpoo in ur hair, the medican that cures you may have been tested on animals so that you could look or feel better.
of course you know that. so lets stop it from happening. GOD

anonymous I think all animal shelters should be no-kill and they should just limit the amount of animals at each shelter and just build more shelters. They should get more donations and have fundraisers. 5/23/2007

Ashley This is an excellent artilce on the realizm of shelters and how older pets can become excellent if not better companions to a family then that of a puppy of kitten. Yes puppies and kittens are cute and will always be cute but the benifits to adopting an older animal can sometimes be more rewarding.
In most instances the older animal is house-trained, has had basic vetting completed and has basic knowledge of proper behaviors then that of a puppy just eager to eat your new pair of work shoes! Naturally adopting from a shelter you are getting more for your Money! Not to mention the rewards of knowing you have ultimatly helped an animal that that has no controll over his fate once he enters into that shelter.

Bob I think this website has very good information, but could use more, so i don;t have to go to so many other websites to find info. 10/8/2004
Chelsea I would love to adopt a pet because the whole thought of them dying is so sad. My parents probably won't let me get one but when I do get older I'd want to get a pet and not only one many. I know that one person like me can't make a difference but l'll try my best. 8/26/2004
e Thank you for this information. I am attending New Mexico State and am giving this information in one of my speeches to help raise the concern. 7/5/2004
