I'm sorry. I'm a hardcore animal lover. Things like this sicken me...when they say they have the animal's best interests in heart...no they don't! NOBODY CAN PROPERLY CARE FOR THAT MANY ANIMALS! I mean, for christsakes, I have two guinea pigs, a couple of fish, and over christmas I'm gonna have a big sweet black lab. (the boss's dog). Now, I realize I do not have the time and space for a dog of my own. I actually had my boss ask me if I could take his dog for three weeks in September/October...I told him no. I don't have the space or time to properly care for him for that long. I only don't mind the ten days over christmas since, uh, I'll be off half that time adn the other work days I can take him to the office.
...sorry...got off topic. Anyways, you would think that having your animals DIE as a result of your lack of care would make you realize holy shit something needs to be done! There are organizations out there that would help out! The excuse in this is that the couple fell on hard times, had to mortgage their home, bs bs bs. arrange something with the SPCA. Arrange something with cat societies, dog clubs, THEY DO EXIST. If you can not handle your animals, financially or time wise, you should do what is in their best interest! And in some cases, that is taking them to the humane society to find them a new home! or place an ad in the paper! free to a good home...come on!
Anyways, maybe it's the vodka, maybe it's just been a loong day at work, but I had to rant about it when I saw that article. It sickens me.
