USA: “It is more dangerous for a dog in a U.S. animal shelter than it is in war torn Afghanistan.”

 

The Killing of a Hero

“It is more dangerous for a dog in a U.S. animal shelter than it is in war torn Afghanistan.”

 

That is the conclusion of many heartbroken animal lovers as they found out an Arizona shelter killed a dog who saved American soldiers from a roadside bomb in Afghanistan.

The shelter calls it a “mistake,” but killing is not a “mistake” when it happens all of the time, all over the place.

While our hearts go out to the family of that poor dog, killing an animal is no less tragic because someone says a particular dog (or cat or rabbit or other animal) is unwanted. The killing of four million animals every year in our nation’s regressive pounds and “shelters” is a needless travesty that can and must be brought to an end.
