[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you dig into it, rescues are a completely illogical system that is driven more by the emotional needs of the operators than rational animal control practice.

They'll spend a fortune to transport dogs across the country and treat diseases, while leaving far more to die due to budget and capacity constraints.

So if you can’t save all, save none?
Your post doesn’t make much sense. 
It would be lovely if people would adopt all the pit mixes left in the shelters here and not need to transport them in, but that’s not reality. [/quote]
We could solve the pit problem by swapping dogs with these shelters down south that have all the desirable breeds. Let’s send our pits down there to be euthanized and bring the desirable dogs here.[/quote]

Why would you ship a dog in order to euthanize it???[/quote]

We shouldn't. They should be put down on the spot. I've worked in animal shelters before and what we are doing to these unadoptable dogs is criminal; I firmly believe it is more abusive to keep an animal in a small cell for 2, 4, 6, or recent videos showing 10 year residents in a shelter environment than a simple euthanasia. I do not blame the dogs, but we have gone way too far with the "No-Kill" movement. We're not killing someone's Golden who went missing for 10 hours willy nilly. The shelters are packed with anti-social unadoptable dogs and we HAVE to deal with that population. At the source primarily but also by ot continuing the cycle of rescuing the South from their issues or normalizing/borderline shaming people who won't bring a problematic dog into their home. It's really sick. [/quote]
