Well, I am pretty pissed off right now. Not only because of the normal things, but because of something unusual that happened recently.
My nephew had a birthday party yesterday, and there was an uninvited guest, in the form of a black pitbull cross bitch. Very sweet dog, gentle with the kids and friendly, but a bit iffy with other dogs. (She was probably starving and scared out of her skull). They'd seen this dog once before.
My brother's mother in law took this dog to the shelter last night. I had made it clear that I was intending to ask around at work, and see if anyone knew anything. No one told me that they intended to bring this dog to the pound, that there was no point in even looking for the owner.
And what are the odds that I found the owner last night? Probably pretty slim, but I thought I had, and had discussed it with her. She had recently rehomed the dog, and the dog had gotten loose and the new owner was obviously not looking for her. When trying to find the dog a home, the former owner had called the Shelter of Hope, and asked about dropping her off. She was told that, due to BSL, the dog would be immediately put to sleep. If she brought the dog onto the property, the dog would not only be taken and euthanized right there, but also she would be given an idiotically large fine for having an unfixed pitbull cross.
So the sweet little dog with problems only caused by people was sentenced to death because idiots couldn't leave well enough alone. I can't help but be very disappointed, even if I am a little proud of myself. Within 12 hours, I managed to find the dog's owner, get the story, and find a new home for the dog. It was, however, all for nothing.
A moment of silence for Kela, a pitbull x lab bitch who was murdered for something beyond her control.
Genocide at it's best.
