THE FACES THAT KEEP ME UP AT NIGHT
This is just a sample of OC Animal Care today. A whole new batch from last week. Owner surrender dogs only get five days for adoption, and for those I pray it includes a weekend, where they may have the chance to be adopted. Strays get about 7 days. It takes a team of about 10 ladies, donating funds, finding fosters, and lining up a puller or a rescue to get to save just one life, before they get the needle. It's an exhausting fast pace rush to save a life from a kill shelter. Half will never make it out.
California kills 500,000 animals a year it's shelters. They are plucked from their cold cement prison cells by a rope around their neck. They know what's happening, they can sense it, and have been smelling the death from the dogs that have been drug past their cells all week that never came back. They are tied to the wall outside the room of death where they freeze in terror and cry to leave. They wait their turn, and never turn on their captors. It is a sight you will never want to see your entire life, because it changes your soul. And yet it happens all day, every day, all year long in Orange County. OC Animal Care murdered almost 4,000 canines alone last year. Abandoned loving pets by irresponsible owners, almost 60 % were sold thru a pet store as a spontaneous purchase. There simply are no words for the holocaust we commit in Orange County to our loving canine companions and "Man's Best Friend." Humans are their protectors and in return they amazing offer us loyalty, courage, undconditonal love and would risk their lives with out hesitation to save the life of their human. We strap them down against their will while they cry in terror and shove a poisonous need in their arm..... we are a society who murders Man's Best Friend for convenience. Disgraceful and Unnecessary. If you work in Rescue or are simply a person of morals with regard for life and living beings, it makes you ashamed to belong to the human race, on a daily basis.
