The Cruelty of Dumping Pets
To the Editor:
This letter is to the people who should never have pets.
When you want to get rid of them you take them out on a country road and dump them like they are garbage. You are guaranteeing them a horrible death either by starvation, being hit by a car, or being torn apart by coons, coyotes or dogs. These poor animals are so terrified, they don't know what happened to them or where they are, that caring people can't even get close to them to help them. Why does anyone do this when we have an animal shelter that would take them in, feed them, keep them warm and keep them safe from a certain horrible death. Even if in the end they had to be euthanized it would be done humanely. People like you should be charged with animal cruelty. Please, read this and realize what happens when you dump a cat or dog out along the side of the road. Think about the terrifying fear they feel and then about the horrible death that will happen to them. This is one of the worst kinds of animal cruelty. Please don't be responsible for this kind of cruelty to an innocent animal.
