The Rescue dog crisis is a direct reflection of just how many people are unconscious to their surroundings, needs, of another life.
Animals are looked upon as 2nd class citizens.
Disposable like the elderly.
I bet if it's an iPhone, an LV purse, or Rolex, they'd never be irresponsible to it. And a dog's worth is invaluable.
Most of society doesn't put value on Mother Earth and all she encompasses; whether an animal, another human, a tree, the ocean or the air.
If there were value they'd be no wars, no pollution, no garbage in the ocean, no clear cutting of 100 year old trees to make a paper shopping bag, and no animal neglect or abuse.
