Cruel Cook County

Dear readers,
Some residents of Cook County have a history of incredible cruelty to animals. Witness that a few years ago a cat was beaten to death in Rec Park. In earlier days unwanted animals were shot by game wardens or police. Thousands of helpless puppies and kittens are abandoned in the woods. Those with (perhaps) some conscience drop them off at our local Saint Francis, Gay O'Donnell instead of either shooting, drowning or beating them to death.
BUT, nobody seems to want to spay and neuter. True has heard the complaints of locals that people just don't understand how it is up here. And that is True.
What possible excuse can there be for allowing animals to reproduce, knowing that the little ones who are born have a death sentence?
Gay and the Advocates have given so much, and gotten so little help.
Even in the Twin Cities, there is now a culture of understanding that spaying and neutering pets saves many an innocent life.
Perhaps one reason is that from the age of five years old children are given to understand that shooting and killing wild creatures is part of their cultural heritage.
Is there no compassion for the companion animals bred by us and dependent upon us?
Why is spay/neuter not done? And why is our Saint Gay the depository of the unwanted innocents?

NOT HAPPY. Came home yesterday and found someone had opened a door
in the motel and put two cats in there.
Besides being illegal it was another act of lack of responsibility and for you to assume that I will pay the bills and expenses for your animals is wrong. There are no homes for the cats we take in and the shelters are full. What do you think I am supposed to do with them?
If anyone has any info on who did this PLEASE phone or e mail
me.
Someone out there knows whose cats these are. longhaired yellow cat and a tortoise cat (black with yellowish shadings) Gay

Thank you True for posting more True infomation. Shame on any of you for letting your pets reproduce unwanted animals, and then forcing someone else to kill them.
It is simple. Take one nights bar or restaurant tab and spay or neuter your animal...
If you can not aford that. You can not aford a pet.
