Speak up for pets

Karen Powers is probably a good animal-loving person. She probably feels just awful (Nov. 2). But trust me, she doesn’t feel as awful as the family who dropped their dog off with her and never saw it alive again. My guess is the Bagleys are typical Americans with debt and mortgages and car loans but still they wanted their puppy taken care of and they paid a good price for this security.

Pets in a very short time become family. We need a change in our laws to hold people responsible! Animals can’t speak so we speak for them and on their behalf I am saying, “Help!”

I am a pet lover. I currently have 2 rescue dogs and grew up with both cats and dogs, but you could not possibly be more out of your mind. More laws? More laws would simply make the pet day care too expensive for most people to afford and, if you read the laws regarding kennels, would require that dogs be separated into individual cages. It you are going to do that why wouldn't you just leave your dog at home in what would essentially be a much larger, more comfortable cage, i.e., your whole house/apartment.
