For people of the rescue community, and dog lovers even, or people who are just aware of the horror of the dog crisis. This is a really strong message. This is a statue that was put up in another country to āraise awarenessā this speaks VOLUMES. The dog crisis that is going on at the moment is outrageous.
The amount of dumped, injured, abused, neglected and so much more to dogs is ungodly. Itās by your average public. It all takes place stemming from irresponsible owners. Whether these people get dogs from the shelter, a rescue, or a breeder. Some people are just ill intentioned, ācanāt handle the stressā of a puppy or an adult/young dog, or for other reasons. Dogs are a lifetime commitment, they are a family member. They are so much more than just an item that is a statement. I canāt even say anymore āwell would you give your kids upā cause thatās another story. People do that all the time as well.
The crisis we have going on with not just dogs but animals in general is disgusting, 100ās if not 1000ās of dogs, healthy dogs; with no underlying issues, no health concerns, no bite history, no nothing get euthanized everyday from being brought to the shelter as a stray or owner surrender simply at no fault of their own. So many animals, are failed by society.
I say this loudly, DO NOT GET AN ANIMAL, if you cannot afford it, if you cannot care for it, if you cannot devote your time, anything important. Get a goldfish. Rescues are overflowing, shelters are, THE STREETS ARE! Be responsible, even breeders are overflowing from getting their dogs returned to them from irresponsible people.
Our dogs are rescues, dogs that come from HORRENDOUS situations. Our dogs come from death row many times. They are with us until the end, or if there a foster until they canāt be with us anymore or have a better opportunity. Be responsible. Donāt do the things like this statue is showing you; the reality of the dog crisis.
This is the reality that is rescuers face DAILY, hear about hourly, and try to save by the deadline of a minute.
