Good point. Perhaps we should euthanize homeless humans as well. After all we are all animals. The truth is, we as humans create problems and then create others to remedy the original. It's common amongst those that believe in a "higher power", especially Christians, that we, as humans, are somehow worth more than other forms of life. The truth is that we are animals and like a cancer on the world. We are not a symbiotic species, but parasites that take and rarely give back.

I love animals, don't get me wrong, I have two cats and three guinea pigs. But what are we to do with all the unwanted animals not given a home?

Should they drop them off at your place Codro??

I feel sorry for them just as much as the next person, but when there's no place to go, there's no place to go.

That is the magic of a double standard...

It is only wrong if you do something, If I do something it is different...

"Double Standards" are the Root of many problems facing our society today...

Got enough money, anything is for sale... Mens souls are cheap and moral integrity is even cheaper!

I find it interesting that animal behaviorist have been able to work with those dogs to not be killers all they needed was understanding
and respect with a little guidance. I would imagine more people kill people than dogs kill dogs. You must be mormon you think you are superior to life. Oh and having to control your behavior....your just messed up!

I am a pet owner and my pets are fixed so that they cant reproduce... for that matter so am I I did that becuase I am a responsible Adult..... so maybe we euthenize bad pet owners and Eat their pets..... that would solve two problems.. oh.. heres one.. jail the felony animal abusers and then sustain their diets off of excess animals in the Kill shelters till the populations of both dwindle.... Fact is we need to raise responsible children to make responsible adults... then maybe the problem will fix itself.... until then we are only going to have Thomas Payne {satyrical} solutioins to a stupid problem....

Landlords? Really? You think that we have allllll these animals on the streets and in shelters because a landlord said no cats?

If you think this is the case, you're the blind man.

Come on, do you really think that sooooo many people move out of pet friendly places into non-pet-friendly places each day???? I really doubt that.

I've been around the block and see just fine.
It just seems everyone I've talked to about adopting has said they would if they could but the landlord says no. Are you blind...that is happening. I'm not saying that is the total answer but if we opened up a little maybe we could find somemore answers. Again for the landlords it comes down to dollars. We've put a price on the gift of life.

I've done plenty apartment hunting in Utah and California, plenty of friends have as well, and I and they have had no problem finding pet friendly places. There are plenty of places out there.

Having more pet friendly lanlords isn't going to put much of a dent in this problem.

So, what's your address?

Codro; Me Mormon? Look beyond your stereo type. Too much time in this valley may give us tunnel vision. I'm here to discuss. I'll try to hear you even if I don't agree.
Our belief systems and assumptions need to be challenged, even the great darwin. We all need to see the logical outcomes of our belief systems. So when I claim that there is difference between animals/humans it is not to abuse animals but to preserve a natural/sacred order. Non-religious people should be concerned about this. Without this order the future Hitlers of the world will use genetic science to create androids, part human manipulations, (see Bladerunner) etc. So all these issues are more than just a religious taboo.
