That is so horrible why would anyone that cared for any animal just dump them to be put to sleep, they would be scared and alone with strangers to be with them in their last hours, I am sorry but people that do this should be micro-chipped and put on a register that they NEVER have any animal under their care over their lifetime, because that is not CARE. I can understand some people being frightened as a result of media hype but if they can do that they NEVER should have had any animal in the first place. People don't hand their car and keys over at the impound because of other peoples road accidents so why hand your animal over because of something that your animal had nothing to do with grrrrr makes me so
I would find some way to have our boys recognised as human (they already think they are) and legally adopt them as children before I would surrender them.
