I used to work at the Humanes society. I was mainly in the puppy room, but I also took care of the felines and the purebred dogs. I really enjoyed my job, except at 4'oclock, I new that the selection would start, and I would have to put down whatever animals she ( my boss) thought should go. We did it with an injection, and none of them ever acted like they were in pain....but what do I know?
The thing with the cats is, almost every single cat that ever came in was put down. People simply did not come in to adopt cats.
The fullgrown dogs that came in, they were pretty much gonners to. The puppys, they had a chance if they were cute,but thats not to say we wouldn't see them back later because people didn't want to take the time to train them right-and then the dog was the problem.
I was surprised when I first started working there by how many purebred dogs came through. Just because people payed a bundle for them didnt mean that they would become valued family members.A lot of purebreds just arent to bright, and many have hip and other problems that they didn't want to pay for. They often go to stud farms, if they aren't fixed, or dont have medical problems. But its heart breaking to see a purebred dumped at the shelter because he's to old to fuck any more.
