Where will we get pets? - Topix | Thread profile

even though i do actually agree with many of the things you would like to see happen - many of us would - you still need practical implementation. so until ways are found to do that, the problem is just going to get worse. an overadundance of unwanted pets is just one of countless manifestations of this. which is why we need to bring in laws to arrest these issues now, one by one, before we do end up like china, with one kid per family and...

You know that Southern author, Rick Bragg? He goes into some detail describing those mean, nasty Southern men who are such a large part of Southern culture. His own Daddy was one of them. I think this forum gives me good examples of what he means. Every so often Peta asks us to e-mail a college president down south because one of the fraternities was reported for abusing pigs (they love to abuse pigs) So I guess the next generation will be...

Then again, there are (yet again unowned) cats roaming the streets so I guess that is the answer. I do understand that people will give up pets to shelters because apartments and rentals will not let them have them. There should be laws against that which require landlords to accept a reasonable number of pets as long as...

It's the lousy filthy stinking disgusting human "children" who have allowed their reputation deteriorate. Everything people find wrong with pit bulls is attributable to people. And the only way punish these bad children is to take their...

Rather than them importing dogs from other countries, perhaps they could come to Chicago, or to any other large city, and visit a shelter or pet rescue. Alternatively, I'm sure overwhelmed shelters would be more than happy to fill in for any shortage of pets, sending them cross country if needed. Chicago IS...

Its alright to kill animals providing Peta tells you to do it

"He had a complete work up every year and before he was neutered and had a complete workup a few months after being neutered so I have the health records to show that neutering caused him to be hypo-thyroid." How exactly does this argument show cause and effect? Are you claiming that dogs do not get hypo-thyroid problems unless they are neutered?

Again, you all have no clue as to the cost of responsible animal husbandry. How dare you expect us to buy a $500 breeding permit when we are already hemorrhaging money on OFA X-rays and the like. For as much as you cry about an animals "rights," its "right" not to be eaten, etc... you sure don't respect it's "right" not to endure a painful surgical procedure... So let me get this...
