Why this dog died
Animal care technician Debbie
Goldman holds a stray female dog
as co-worker Carrie Perez
administers a fatal injection of
sodium pentobarbital, which will
knock out the animal in 10 to 20
seconds and kill within 90 seconds.
The dog was held seven days at the
Southeast Area Animal Control
Authority shelter in Downey before
being euthanized. Press-Telegram photo by Leo Hetzel

This is what happens when the advice of "don't spay/neuter your
non-breeding line dogs because they don't need it and because I can
take care of my dogs" is followed. ( I.e. I am the Zenman and I don't
ever have any problems so you won't either so listen up pilgrims and I
will show you the way.) POS!

And unfortunately all of the no-kill shelters are too small for all of
these animals. We are no-kill and can only hold 20 dogs and we have
about 50 cats which is about 20 over the limit and there is a group of
at least 7 wild ones comming into our shelter within the next couple of
days. Please remember: SPAY AND NEUTER!!!
Thank You,

Remeber: spay/neuter, adopt don't buy or breed, and always be ready to
take responsibility for litters that your animal has that you could have
prevented- don't leave the responsibility on overfilled shelters-Spay
and neuter

Glad you said it. I'd be accused of being a mouth-breathing behemoth had I
made the same observation.
