I think the only way to solve the problem would be tackling the source, rather than trying to ban kill shelters.

definitely

like, in one of the videos i found while researching, one of the shelter personnel is crying because he loves dogs, thats why he works the shelter, but he has to kill these "surplus" dogs with nowhere to go. of course dickheads in the comments say oh youre evil for killing the dogs, youre an asshole, you enjoy murdering dogs and thats why you do it, don't kill the dogs. blah blah blah. smfh. and then the people who insist we should ban breeders, well, no. people spending thousands on their purebred breeds with good genes that propagate better breed condition aren't the ones letting their dogs loose to overpopulate. its the backyard breeders and irresponsible owners who are to blame.

its really a complicated issue lol

Absolutely. I don't understand what these people think can be done with the dogs instead of putting them down. There aren't enough people to adopt all of the stray dogs. And even if somehow a shelter had unlimited resources for food/space, that's no life for a dog, living forever in a cage. Neither is just barely surviving on the streets. And I'm a pretty big stickler against free-roaming cats, so I have to extend that to dogs as well. I wish everyone would spay and neuter their dogs and keep them secured on their own property.

what happens a lot of times is that rescues from the north scout adoptable dogs from the south to rescue and ship up north, and that whole industry has become a sort of business within the rescue community. ever since hurricane katarina (2005 ish) when dogs were shipped up north cause of that, the connections persisted after that and now southern rescue dogs are a dime a dozen

but like you said, it's not gonna stop of the roots of the overpopulation aren't sovled

"overpopulation"

i'm not sure why you quoted that @A. Spader

what's your thought?

i'm writing a paper on euthanasia and if you have an issue with that wording i would love to hear your thoughts

Spader's a Scando. Not very bright.

maybe you thought of something or have an opinion i hadn't considered

😂 oh no

oh I just meant population control is a fake issue

what do you mean by that?

people have been fearmongering about it for decades, almost 100 years, as a justifacation for eugenics and such

OH

im taking about dogs

They're talking about dogs though
