Hey there!
Hi! I volunteer my time at the local animal shelter. This is where dogs and cats and other wildlife are kept and rehabilitated.
Ah really? thats super cool. well actually I used to work on an animal shelter before.
I prefer to work for no kill shelters, but even then sometimes they have to euthanize sick animals.
Ah I see. It's always sad to euthanize sick animals. Must be hard even for you guys who had to see it sometimes in a weekly basis.
It's horrible. And its actually very sad because in the United States, there is no government run organization that provides oversight or regulation of the shelters. It's tragic.
Isn't PETA oversees the operation and do something about it? Yeah, super tragic, it broke my heart thinking about it.
Many individual states do regulate shelters within their jurisdiction. PETA is a lot of talk and not that much action, they also are not government operated or regulated.
