Re: Animals in new home as shelter now open, May 8
The good news is a new animal shelter has opened in Delta, and thus there'll be a greater amount of space for unwanted animals, almost entirely abandoned or feral felines.
The bad news is, however, a new animal shelter has opened in Delta. No, I didn't incompetently repeat myself: There really shouldn't be a need for yet another animal shelter. People should keep the pets they adopt.
Furthermore, there should not be any cases of a pet cat or dog being left to freeze outdoors, go hungry or go without clean drinking water in the sweltering heat of summer.
As some owners are abusing/killing their helpless pets, tragically overlooked is the symbiotic-like relationships that can exist between pets and owners, which benefit both parties, including lowering dangerously-high blood pressure in humans and the tendency toward healthier lives for soothingly stroked pets.
