This is hard. This is very hard. I've talked about it before, but the notion of stray, hurt, lost, abandoned, mistreated, ignored animals troubles me to my soul. Troubles me, I must admit, almost more than the idea of humans being hurt or lost or mistreated. It just does.
People can spay or neuter their animals.
It's not hard. It's very easy, in fact, and anyway, these people have made a decision to take care of an animal. But owners often don't. People are stupid and lazy and bad. Perhaps I am just a softy.
