Animals are like babies who are innocent and fragile. They need to be cared or just let them live in the wilds. But domestic animals such as cats and dogs need love from human. I have cats and just looking at them makes me happy and gay. Touching them can remove my stress.

I do believe that animals should be cared for. Killing animals is really devastating and disheartening. If people from the shelter kills those poor animals, it is like they are killing children then.

This is very bad news! So it seems everything is going to get even worse. Of course, what do you expect of a hunter who took to many steroids.

Yes, you are right. If people don’t even care about the death of companion animals (family members) then people will have no empathy at all for pigs or chickens. This is also why this sort of stuff is bad news:

A dutch artist who strangled her cat in the name of art, and people find it funny and brave of her!

The connection with pets is very important, and if this is broken we take a serious step back in time. And it is already happening…

At times I just feel that everything is hopeless really…

All my animals are rescues. I do my best to inform and educate people, but it doesn’t seem to change much.

I so agree that if we can’t face the killing of companion animals there is little hope for the other animals we threaten. And in fact, there isn’t a single animal, large or small, that is not threatened by the human race.

Thanks for the link. I’ll be following that.

You said, “It is disheartening when a problem that can be solved is misrepresented and the only solutions proposed are the worst.”

Yes, it is.

But, like you implied, knowledge is power. Let’s spread the truth and save lives. We CAN create a no-kill nation. Here’s info about how to do that:

I firmly believe that there is no hope for farm animals if the most adored animals – our companions – don’t have hope. And so long as our society is killing them – by the millions – in so-called “shelters,” they have no hope.

We MUST create a no-kill nation. ALL animals’ lives are at stake.
