The USA has so much failures in its animal welfare laws resulting in the unacceptable large numbers of healthy companion animals killed daily in shelters across the country. Companion animal breeding has been out of control for decades as the authorities permitted overbreeding by breeders and illegal puppy mills flourished everywhere unchecked.

The USA has so much failures in its animal welfare laws resulting in the unacceptable large numbers of healthy companion animals killed daily in shelters across the country. Companion animal breeding has been out of control for decades as the authorities permitted overbreeding by breeders and illegal puppy mills flourished everywhere unchecked. This sickening over breeding filled the pockets of so many people and made the operators filthy rich, plus the pet shops and on line selling of animals flourished perpetuating the greed with out government intervention! This reckless, irresponsible behaviour of authorities resulted in massive overpopulation of these animals reducing their value to that of a worthless piece of product and are treated as such as people continue to buy animals , brutalise and abandon them to be killed in the shelters. This dark culture in the USA is nothing but reprehensible, despicable and they are even using gas chambers to kill the animals that they failed so badly! The calibre of the politicians is obviously nothing that this nation could be proud of. A Seismic shift in animal welfare is desperately needed in this our of control system! This is not what freedom is about!

What a wonderful and much needed initiative!

We need a strict solid animal protection law as Germany. Only the law can protect them and speak for them. Germany can, I don't understand why USA can't. The killing is way too much and the legislation has to be pushed forward to make a better law in order to save them.

I Love Dogs, and all Animals.

Dogs and cats and other animals have feelings just like humans. They feel pain like us. God made them and they give us comfort. I love my animals. They should be saved and people should stop not caring and these people that don't care should not have dogs because they don't care if they keep haveing babies, so there for we get over populated with animals. These people need to be stopped, I'm for doing something about killing shelters.

Toda vida es importante. Debemos respetarla y ser responsables de nuestros animales que tanto amor nos dan.

Every good dog deserves a loving home...
Not a "death sentence" decree by ruthless corrupt officials and so-called.
