Or how about this?
These might be more your speed because it's blatantly obvious you don't know how to take care of anything more advanced. You're probably the same ones that missed a mortgage payment here and there just so you could become delinquent and receive government assistance. Did that change your habits at all? Nope. Not one bit, because you looked for the handout you didn't deserve. You took the easy way out. Look, I understand times are tough and most of us can only read about the economic hardships faced by our parents and grandparents that endured The Great Depression, or skyrocketing inflation rates of the 70's. However, there is absolutely no excuse for not making provisions for any living creature in your charge when you can no longer care for it.
"I'm too embarrassed to take them to the shelter. What will people think?"
BOVINE MANURE!
I have ten times the respect for someone that has realized they've gotten themselves in trouble and does the responsible thing arranging for their pet(s) to receive the adequate care they can no longer provide than for someone that is worried what people will think of them. If you are worried what others will think you need to get your head out of whatever cloud it's in and realize that you need some serious re-adjustment in your life.
Change comes from within, not from a campaign slogan...

Rock on. Right there with you.
I admit it, I watch Animal Cops on "Animal Planet", always with the same combination of disgust and disbelief. Thank goodness for the times when there is a happy ending and the animals are placed into new loving homes.
Glad you got that off your chest, Snookums!
Love, The Wife
Of course you're absolutely right. The whole d**n topic makes me sad though.
Alex, I watch the Animal Cops occasionally too. I say occasionally because I usually wind up yelling at the TV. I both saddens and angers me that we have people like that in our society.
You know, I was really hoping for a pirate post based on the title. Seriously, though, this makes me so mad, I think all these people should walk the plank.
Addie
but i just think those people are out there, no matter what. the mortgage (we really need a better root word for that) crisis just make them flake out en masse. i knew a vet nurse who came to work after a 4-day weekend to see 2 $$$ breeds in the freezer. they were euthanised because neither partner would let the other have one in the break up, and the vet had no spine to say phkov.
pets as accessories a la paris, lilo et al. easy to discard like last year's belts.
shallow shallow people.
