Found this in a thread and just need to vent about it so people don't get the wrong idea of Shelter Animals.

The true question is: "How would you feel if your dog was put down for no reason?

This was my reply/vent to and about that quote ^^
Dogs/Cats or any animal for that matter get put down for many reasons.
1. Abandoned and or starved to death.
2. Fought and are very aggressive toward people and or other animals (have a bite history). <-- to this... would you want to adopt a pet (dog or cat) from a shelter who would take your face off when you got it home IF you could even get it out of the kennel? I think not. It would be a liability.

I work at our local shelter and they don't just put animals down for "no reason" what so ever. And they don't put down "your pet".
People bring in pets and give them up, because they don't want them anymore. To much to handle/take care of. Once they do that, the pet then becomes the shelters responsibility. They can't adopted out a pet if it will bite kids, kill cats or other animals, attack people or aggressive in any way towards anything. They temperament test them to see if the dog will react to certain things. If they pass, they are put up for adoption. If not, well the dog wouldn't be adoptable now would it?

So the way that was said was wrong. Yes, it's sad to see so many animals put down each year, but there are reasons and they aren't YOUR pets being put down. Once owned, yes, but not them coming and just putting your animals down.

Again, sorry but this bothered me and I needed to rant about it. *sighs*

The person was beggin/asking for free pets and that was their quote in their thread. "dogs for a cause" and that was the part of the message that bothered me.

Oh OK sorry, didn't see that in there but that may just be my dyslexia ^^"
You should report them for begging then.

Someone already did or they tried reporting people for posting in their thread (seemed to backfire on them though). It was a bunch of drama that I didn't want to get into and that was what I was going to say till the thread got locked. Working at a shelter and seeing someone on here using wrong info to try and get free pets from people .... just wrong. And I apologize for not stating that. Wasn't really thinking about it. Was just focused on what was said. Sorry =/
