I have a good respect for animal shelter b/c they take in dogs and cats who are sick, wounded or are simply abadoned
I love animal shelters. I would always adopt first option instead of spending for a do else where.
I agree!  Often times they have no kill shelters but sometimes they do have to euthanize sick animals or ones who are not claimed quickly enough or are to dangerous to adopt out.  that is sad
I agree. If it is needed then putting an animal down is sometimes the best thing.
in Europe 30 countries included in a survey permitted the killing of healthy stray dogs
Wow. THat is horrible. I do not support that for any reason.
me either!  critics believe that the new term "animal shelter" is generally a eupemism for the older term "pound"
THa tmakes sense. Pound is a word I haven't heard in awhile. Animals need love and should always made to feel they are wanted.
Many individual states regulate shelters within their jurisdiction
Regulation is good. It makes sense to control these types of places.
