I have to jump in again & tell Applelady that education works. In this country, in my parents generation, say 1940s, most people did not spay or neuter their pets. Drowning unwanted puppies or kittens in a sack was not uncommon. People have changed that. You can't take your dog out back and shoot it just because you decide to. Now there are laws and consequences. Public opinion plays a big part in the way animals are treated. Animals have more rights now and this can be improved upon. Educate someone. Let them know what is right & what is wrong.

I walked up to three young people looking for a chinchilla in Petsmart. I was buying dog food so please don't yell.) I told them that they could find chinchilla rescues on line. They were thrilled because they didn't know! We can & do make a difference.
