[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 406199, member: 47"] Unfortunately, Humane Societies are in a no win situation. They could not possibly keep for an unlimited amount of time every dog and cat that gets brought in - they try and adopt out as many as they can and foster where they can. When I had only one dog, I regularly went and adopted one then found a home for it then got another. One of my dogs Danny took in from the street, only a few weeks old. The other came from a litter of Pit puppies (11 of them) which he had brought home when their owner went to jail. Thankfully he found homes for all of them, but it was no easy feat I would be more angry with the stupid irresponsible people who do not spay their animals, or let them breed just to see what their offspring would look like, or get an animal in then take them to the shelter cause they cannot "deal" with it or its too much trouble. I don't like animals being put down but not supporting the local humane societies is not the way to go - they do the best with what they have. Los Angeles implimated a spay law - First-time offenders will receive information on subsidized sterilization services and be given an additional 60 days. If they still fail to comply they could be fined $100 and ordered to serve eight hours of community service. A subsequent offense could result in a $500 fine or 40 hours of community service. Certain animals are exempt, but there was a hue and cry from a lot of people who were/are digging in their heels being forced to have their pets fixed Marcie [/QUOTE]
