reach across the aisle <| sep |> Judging by his reaction , too many . <| sep |> You haven ' t worked with stray animals if you think dumping is better than euthanizing . I ' ve spent the last 4 years helping to manage a 60 cat colony in Dubai . The vast majority of dumped house pets which is what you are describing die suffering terribly . Both dumped cats and dogs lack the instincts and ability to survive on the street , even in a colony . Even feral cats seldom live more than a couple years . People like you want to feel good , like you are giving an animal another chance to live . So instead of taking responsibility , so you dump the pet AND the emotional burden of watching it suffer on other people . Unforgivable . You can ' t compare a person ' s ability to change their circumstances with a cat or dog . Adopting them is our choice , caring for them is our choice , neutering them is our choice , dumping them is our choice , and euthanizing them is our choice . Anyway , this specific dog was found chewing its leg down to the bone . How long do you think it would take injuries like that to become infected ? And without treatment , what do you think would happen to a dumped disabled dog with substantial wound infection ?
