I've more than decided that it will be a rescued greyhound. I know there's no way to stop this completely on my own, but I hope I can eventually give just one of them a loving home for once. Thanks for making this open news to many of the public. Excellent report, I must say; the second I move into my house, and out of my tiny apartment, I will be adding another dog to my family.

What happens to the 'rejects' is swept under the carpet. But I wont get started on this one or I'll start to get hate mail.

Had I the wherewithal to do so, my home and yard would shelter as many cats and dogs as I could take in... I absolutely agree that it is the greed of breeders (and in the case of purely domesticated "house" animals/pets) the laziness or carelessness of those who have pets and do not spay or neuter them. They look to us for love, with trusting and faithful hearts...and get...what? "Putting them down," is just a fluffed-up euphemism for slaughter. (And I'd save the poor cattle and other livestock too...carted about and killed for their meat and hides. But alas, I cannot save the world. And yes, I do eat meat, but I wish there were another way of feeding the people.) And bless your heart for it too, Andy.
