$10,225.00 to the Humane Society for boarding fees? The cost of one bullet and disposal fee would probably save the city a lot of money. This city spends money like it grows on trees.
Then, shall we call it the Inhumane Society, in your honor?
Why is it inhumane? A bullet correctly placed to the back of the neck is quick, painless, and relatively inexpensive. What is inhumane about that?
What is inhumane is that you would begin with killing as your first choice, your first solution.
Now, if we were talking about disease, extreme impairment or decrepitude, then euthanasia is the preferred method. It is morally acceptable.
It is also recognized that the need for sustenance gives way to death of an animal, but again, there are morally acceptable methods for this purpose.
But, have we as a society, grown so callous, so coarse, where killing has become an acceptable norm?
Hmmm, where do we get beef, chicken, pork, lamb, lobster? Pick them up as road kill? I think not. And don’t we kill deer, pheasants, quail, rabbits, squirrels, coyotes, fox, many types of fish, raccoons, and other animals? And lest we forget, the CIA have been responsible for a number of assassinations all over the world. Food for thought, don’t you think? (Please pardon the pun.)
