Clients who ask lots of questions at the shelter, provide honest information on their life styles - and yet somehow still go home with dogs that are completely and utterly unsuitable for them.<br /><br />I've fostered lots of dogs - mostly problem dogs. I've donated thousands of dollars to rescue groups and put in thousands of hours of volunteer time with rescue groups, public education and more. I understand the passion people feel to help dogs.<br /><br />What I don't understand is the self-centered need to make everyone else in the world deal with it as passionately as I do. I've taken in biters, but I'm a professional trainer with no children who understands the risks - and I'm willing to hold the dog I've lived with and worked with and come to love in my arms and sob like a baby when I put it down because it isn't fixable.<br /><br />Compared to that, selling the dog to a sucker is taking the easy way out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35437039.post-54970925403729475842010-04-23T12:19:33.440-04:002010-04-23T12:19:33.440-04:00you just proved my point there, Anon friend, burie...you just proved my point there, Anon friend, buried in your inscrutable "insults" (at least I assume you're trying to insult me, but you'll have to try harder cause I'm pretty stupid and don't get what you're trying to say).<br /><br />There's isn't a "no kill" advocate in the world who routinely uses the phrase "no kill of adoptable animals".. just too long and bulky donchaknow and of course EVERYONE understands what we really mean (surely you read the fine print on everything, don't you?). <br /><br />While on the other hand, every Sternbergian kill shelter in the world DOES claim to kill only "unadoptable" animals, while they slaughter pit bull type dogs, older dogs, black dogs, starving dogs that object to food being pulled away etc etc.<br /><br />Try harder.<br /><br />Try harder to understand that "no" kill is a fraud because every shelter KILLS, even when they call it euthanasia, "good" killing. A human aggressive dog (like Oreo, say?), is KILLED, whether you call it euthanasia or "sending home" or "going to the Rainbow Bridge" or anything else. Only the freakazoid drones want to call this something other than killing, so they can continue to pat themselves on the back for being "no kill".<br /><br />Try harder to understand when the public has no freaking clue what you acolytes mean, it's not the public's fault.<br /><br />I wont even ask you to understand that people who insist that words have consistent clear meanings ("no" means "no") are not the enemy. At least not the enemy of the REAL goal, which is saving as many animals as possible. As opposed to the apparent goal, which is acting morally superior to anyone who hasn't fallen unquestioningly in line behind the Robespierres rhetorically marching you over the cliff.EmilySnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35437039.post-7225634112293975022010-04-22T23:55:26.492-04:002010-04-22T23:55:26.492-04:00No kill cannot be questioned?
