Honestly, the way people are going on about a few dogs,you'd think there had been a disaster or something. Yes, its a horrible thing to happen, a criminal act, but many PEOPLE are killed in fires and you don't see money being thrown at them. People will donate dog and cat food at the supermarket but pass by the food bank donation boxes. People will donate to animal charities but not third world country charities 'because well they always have famines don't they' as if its their fault! yes joggerjayne I totally agree its a dogs life. If you are suffering as a dog you get put out of your misery, humans have to suffer to the bitter end. The world is crazy....
