Killing Animals?

Question

My girlfriends family is from a rural town, where they seem to find it accepable to do thier own for of population control(they shoot the animals) just two days ago her grandmother shot a mother dog and three puppies, b/c she figured thier are to many animals around here, and she drowned like 20 kittens over the last year. I am absolutly disgusted, and If I had a way to prove it, I would turn her into the cops for animal cruelty, but I cant find proof, and I know my gf would be mad at me... I have approched the subject with them and no one sees a problem with it. The shelters are over crowded, and it is cheaper to shoot them or drown then, then to have them humanely Euthanized, or even be nuetered... What do I do, This has me all upset and in shambles.. but I dont think that the police would do anythign even if I went to them, there are only like 5 cops in the whole town.

I know where some of you say I need to mind my own bussiness, but the towns extremly over populated with strays, and I have offered to help pay, and get spay and nueter clinics going, but everyone thinks it is acceptable.

Answer 2

As usual you sensitive city people have the same answer to all hard questions. Let someone else or the government handle it. Shooting and drowning is not the cleanest way to control the stray animal population but it works just as well as rounding them up and taking them to the shelter where 90% of them will be killed anyway.
Stay out of their business. Chances are the rural town does not have a problem with strays.
Animal cruelty is letting feral animals starve.
Animal cruelty is also neglecting to spay or neuter your house pets.

Answer 3

That is truly disgusting.
Call the SPCA, and if the "town" doesn't have one, find the nearest Big City, and report this. Call PETA, do something.
If they are interested in "population control", they should be educated on the "free" services that are offered from the humane society. Just because an animal comes roaming across your "property", doesn't mean it doesn't belong to somebody.
You should keep hold of your anger and use it to keep fighting for those animals that are being murdered. As for your girlfriend --- Maybe you should keep this fight to yourself for now, and refuse to visit and/or talk to these inbred,redneck, savages.

Answer 4

If that was me, I'd report them to my local humane society.
There is no excuse for behaviour like that, and definitely not from being irresponsible in the first place!. It sounds like these people need educating.
I've always believed that if you don't like a situation and have a choice, remove yourself from it, no matter how hard it is, because you will end up better for it. This may be what you need to do with your girlfriend.
Find a supportive friend, and go for it, because it sounds as if the situation isn't doing you any good. You don't deserve to suffer like this.

I sincerely hope everything turns out well for you.

Answer 5

Please just take their remaining animals to the local low-cost spay/neuter clinic. This is the easy solution to their pet overpopulation problem and I don't understand why so many people refuse to do it. It isn't expensive. Most areas have a low-cost clinic that will perform the procedure for $50 or less. Many vets, because they are well aware of the overpopulation problem, will make arrangements to perform the operation cheaply, on a payment plan, or even free.

Answer 6

Sometimes it's necessary, but I don't think in your case an old lady needs to be out shooting dogs and puppies for example. This is just plain CRUEL! Call the SPCA on her dumb@ss and let them take care of it. Or, call PETA and notify them ... that should be pretty interesting #1 and #2 that would bring the little town a little publicity.

Answer 7

I know what you feel because am too is an animal lover(my dad is a zoologist).I don't think eliminating animals is a good and effective solution coz thats just in humane.if you imagine let's say overpopulation of humans, is killing a good sloution?No way!
I suggest you go to a show where you can like complain about.you should use the media for that matters so government officials and concerned citizens would know and they'll act on it.

Answer 8

I would still report them..and keep doing it until they do something..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
n4mwd..Girl you know better, Since when do they put animals to sleep that way and where on earth dod you hear that.. DO NOT tell me you have seen it because you haven't..

They give the animal a shot in i't vien and it litterly takes seconds, they bascially go to sleep, it is easy and very human! ANd yes ma'am I have seen it done more than once. So go tell your crazy stories elsewhere..

Answer 9
