Unfortunately, many shelters cannot take every animal that shows up on their doorstep. They risk becoming severely overcrowded and shut down. The ultimate responsibility of these atrocities lies with the pet owner.Originally Posted by Breal76
Where exactly did I write that again?
You are clearly missing the point.
If shelters stopped turning people away, perhaps stories like this would end. This isn't the first time I have heard of someone doing this to a pet after they have been refused at a shelter and it won't be the last.
