[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 304396, member: 7083"] My first job was in a vet clinic in Acworth, GA (bet you never heard of that, huh? :raspberry-tounge:). As hard as this is to believe, I regularly had to fill out client's checks or intake forms for them because they were illiterate (probably a few times a week). But, they took care of their pets. Have you ever watched Animal Cops - NY, Detroit, San Francisco, etc? It's certainly not limited to the south. There is NOTHING I miss about the south, but I don't think it's fair to say that abuse is much more prevalent there than anywhere else in the country. I think the laws are weaker (I've been gone 15 years so I don't know what's changed). What might seem like abuse to some, really isn't. We humanize our dogs so much that we see someone handling a dog and freak out (hot cars are no excuse...as are a lot of other things, but I think you get my point). [/QUOTE]
