"No Kill" Shelters

I once heard about a “no kill” shelter for animals, which means, they will take these pets in and treat them and not kill them or put them to sleep even if no one will adopt them, unlike the other shelters. However these “no kill” shelters get so crowded that many animals either don’t have a cage, or have to share cages; they are so over whelmed with animals that they animals can be lying in their own feces for days. Because of the overpopulation the shelters is low on supplies such as food, medicine, staff, and space. Some of the animals that come in injured aren’t able to get the proper treatment or drugs for pain, and they suffer in pain til their death. Animals go hungry, and stir crazy from being in cages all day long(this can cause them to become aggressive, and then not get adopted). Rarely do these shelters turn people away, but when they are extremely full they must, which then causes people to leave their animals on the side of the road, usually to get hit and killed by traffic. So they might be a “no kill” shelter, but by starving them, and caging them for months, and not treating them for pain, they are being left at these shelters to die a horrible and painful death.

I'm sorry this is how I feel.

I listened to a speech the other day, where the girl was trying to inform the audience about children living in poverty in other countries. She was trying to tell us what we could do to help these children; she informed us that we could donate money to other countries to help them, or we could sponsor a child like her. She was sponsoring a child who stayed at home with her mother and eight other brother and sisters their father was sometimes employed. I strongly disagreed with what she was saying, I agree that those children need help they shouldn’t have to live in those conditions. But why send money to a place where it might not go to what its suppose to go to, if the conditions are so bad and you can’t afford to feed, cloth, shelter and medicate your child why do you keep producing???? If we are going to help them maybe we should bring them over to our country where we can provide for them. I don’t want people to think that I am heartless, but there are people in our country who can’t have children, but can provide for them; and then you have people in other countries who know that can’t provide, but they figure they will get someone else to help them care for their children. It seriously breaks my heart that those kids have to suffer, because the women can’t keep their legs closed, maybe to help we should send condoms over.?????
