9. I ran into the rescue people that we adopted our kitty |
|
from in October and the man told me they are seeing A LOT of large animals getting given up. He has rescued three horses in the past month and he just does not have room for more - nor the money to feed them. They have a pony ride business on the side so they are hoping to train the horses for that...
He said there are a disproportionate amount of large dogs at the shelters too.
:cry:
My friend's daughter just bought her a St. Bernard puppy (from a pet store no less) and the first words out of my mouth (I really should be more tactful) were "How can you afford to feed it?" I lend (more like give) her money for gas all the time and buy groceries for her too once in a while when I have a little extra cash....
I don't know what she was thinking, but I can't really say much now can I?
