Some few could care less, but the vast majority of these owners care quite a bit. Some people feel guilty of such a thing their entire lives. People do the best they can with the resources they have.
It takes alot of guts to kill an animal who is not old, infirmed, or in pain, just because it isn't wanted by the current owner. And few vets will do that. "Good homes" for these animals are rare to non-existent.
There are too many animals, and not enough owners. Period.

Well( like I said a few weeks ago,) they found a Meth addict running a Min Pin puppy mill out in Riverside, Ca.( shocking!) Their drinking water was filthy, and she had "de-barked" them by incorrectly cutting something in the back of their throats. They advertised on local news shows that they needed homes for them. I would of taken a couple, but they wanted to charge me $300 a piece for them. Rescue means different things to different people. I'm gunna be out plenty taking care of them. Why would I want to be out $600 to start with? There are 2 dogs that could be here in the right set-up for them, but they must not need it badly enough.
