Shelter animals to be euthanized if not adopted

 
WANTED: Someone to adopt dozens of dogs and cats at the privately-run animal shelter called "A Buddy For Life" in Cecil County... or else.

"We put it out there, because it is the reality,” said Tina Bright, a shelter worker. “If we're stuck with dogs and we have absolutely no place to put them, we're going to have to put them down and it really stinks."

The group has lost its contract with Cecil County, which will begin running its own in-house shelter in Chesapeake City in July.

But any animals who can't find new owners by the end of June will be euthanized.

Edie Hardy adopted a full blue nose pit bull named "Kallie" from the nonprofit a few years ago. She claims the company has recently turned away rescue groups who have offered to save some of the dogs.

With all the homeless out there, why not feed them to those people? I'm not BARKING up the wrong tree here, many Asian countries eat dogs for meat. It might be RUFF to get down, but when you're hungry, it beats eating BARK. We just can't ROLLOVER and PLAY DEAD to this problem. Loads of folks just SIT by and do nothing. Just think of the goodwill this would BREED. This country is going to the DOGS, it is time we SIT UP, and take a STAND on this and STAY the course.
