I think the folks who are up in arms about this should all pitch in and privately establish a fund to pay for the cost of keeping unwanted animals alive... see how long their resolve holds up when the money to fund this isn't coming out of government coffers (i.e. taxes collected primarily from a wealthy few).
It's easy to get up in arms about something like this based on the way you feel, but it's another thing when it hits you in the wallet. There are better ways for the government to spend OUR money than to keep a bunch of unwanted animals alive a few extra days.
