Not always.

The Western Pennsylvania Humane Society has a “no kill” policy in their shelters.

This truly sounds like a progressive’s solution to a problem. Maybe we should make this the poster child of the progressive movement.

The article is meant to be sensational and portray these guys as monsters. Its all pretty typical media response as the push the Humane Society as the only authority on treatment of animals.

People seem more outraged at the killing than the method. The Humane Society does killings like this every day.

As another poster noted, many ‘no kill’ shelters just outsource the killing. The economics of trying to care for all these animals is a real issue.

I’m trying to point out the hypocrisy of being outraged at these idiots and yet giving a pass to PETA and the HS. These dogs were killed for economic reasons, the same reason most dogs at the pound are killed.

The method these guys used was very poor though.

There were many other options available to these morons besides killing the dogs, as many have suggested,

Starting with the Siberian Husky and Alaskan Malamute Rescue organizations.

One more thing, not all Humane Societies are lefties. The Western PA Humane Society has a major supporter and donor in Richard Mellon Scaife, who’s hardly a liberal.

yes, I’ve also made that point. Its a very common decision across the country.

“One more thing, not all Humane Societies are lefties.”

Most are and lots of money goes to support lefty causes.

PS, putting down an animal for reasons of infirm health, extreme old age, or terminal illness is one thing. Doing so because the owner is either A.) a cheapskate, B.) claims "I can't afford to keep him", or C.) no longer wants the animal is a horse of a different color and totally and completely inexcusable.

Oh I agree. That is apparently what happened here. It also happens every single day at shelters across this country.

This makes me want to weep, to scream, and to treat the perp the same way he treated those animals. Pure evil.
