I'm going to put this in more of the what the heck is wrong with the world corner of Specktra. I can't stand the idea of people even testing on animals due to the hurt and inhumane treatment they get put through something they have no say about. I used to spend hours volunteering for SPCA during calendar drives and spending time with animals to prepare them for finding homes. Animals that were afraid of humans because of sometimes being kicked by their owners or neglected of food and water and luckily SPCA stepped in to give them a new start. I promise you one dog that came in cringed because he was beat with hangers and left tied to a tree....2 months of being taken by animal control and turned over, that dog was a happy, nuzzling puppy who wagged it's tail the minute it saw you. I'm not even a big dog person but it still left me hopeful.
I am an ex-PETA volunteer but am not fanatical 24 hours a day. I don't bite nor snap on people who eat meat or who go to KFC. I realize what they do to people to make it more of a cult following. Sorry Ingrid, but I almost kicked out of college for good for that cause so no thank you. People are able to eat their chicken, cow, fish whatever without me being one to shout at them or pull out the red paint and make a scene.
I'm not just against animal testing but animal abuse. You give a dog a swift kick to the ribs just to see him yelp and cower, I could only hope that dog runs out the door the minute it has a chance and hopefully encounters someone to save it. Maybe it's me but I'll end up one of those crazy cat ladies who takes care of all the strays as I already do to the best of my ability. I've seen the Specktra thread for pets well enough to see there is a lot of people who love their cats and dogs enough to even want to share them with strangers they really don't know on here. We just took in our 2nd stray that we've encountered 3 weeks ago and she's pregnant and has the face only a mother could love....so yeah, no chance at the animal shelter but I love her just the same. I'm amazed she's as friendly as she is because she's estimated to be 3 years old and is due in 2-3 weeks so we'll have the task of finding homes for her kittens when they're old enough.
I'd love to know how a kid who kills 19 or 20 cats is still able to be released on bail. They describe him like he's a serial killer of cats and see the kid has problems but he gets to go home even temporarily. Michael Vick, the dog fighting extrordinaire, is out as well and I'm like we need harsher punishments for what these people do. When you see a cat terrified in the corner of a cage that you have to try to build a trust level back up with because some ignoramous decided it was cute to throw it against a wall, it makes you upset. I am one of those types who probably wants to save any cat or dog I can but know that controlling the population is still needed as well. I know why euthanization is done and some is human error. My newfound stray has her kittens and she's having an operation when she's healthy to prevent further kitty deliveries. Luckily my Azrael is a female so no more quickies for her.

I just needed to vent. Feel free to read and just not respond if it doesn't catch your attention. I'm not looking for attention nor on a haughty pedestal trying to provoke a war over who's views are right...just disgusted I guess.
