Pet ownership has created mutant breeds that would be unable to live without human owners.

Pet ownership creates vast numbers of dogs - many many more than can be supported by human owners.

Even the animal loving UK was killing a thousand dogs a day.

This US animal charity says that in the US one dog or cat is killed every eleven seconds.

Pet owners deliberately blind themselves to the vast amounts of cruelty their choice has created.

As one of the pet owners you're talking about, am I deliberately blinding myself to the vast amounts of cruelty my choice has created?

The only possible response is WTF?

I saved my dogs from all the fates you describe. And yet you accuse me and other pet rescuers of the most false and outrageous things.

Sir, what gives you that right?

Are these insults and accusations a good way to win people over to your point of view?

Enough for now, my dogs are waiting for their chicken and collard greens. It's such a cruel life here, poor things.
