To all and sundry who feel that pets of all shapes and sizes can be subject to whim and fancy, fashion and image, or Christmas gift giving- you should not be allowed to own a pet. This post isn't for outlining the benefits of owning animals or for chastising those who don't understand those benefits. This post is simply saying this:
'Thanks to the likes of those who don't understand the nature of pet ownership thousands of domesticated animals have to be euthanised each year'.
The sense of waste and the dereliction of responsibility is needlessly extreme. We all need to get our act together.
For now a small group is leading the way and trying to stem the flow of animals that become liabilities of local governments all over Sydney.
If you do find yourself purchasing a pet please look towards the rescue centres across NSW first. The animal of your dreams will most likely be waiting and at a fraction of the cost of purebred puppies.
The personal favorite of this blog is the Sydney Dog's Home. Please check out the link and feel free to smile at the bright faces waiting for homes on the site.
