Neither are people. Yet, oddly enough, prison inmates aren't jumping at the opportunity for a death sentence.
You CANNOT compare prison inmates to the innocent. The people of the Halocaust were innocent and many of them after being there for even less then a year looked forward to death! Not a few yrs of torture. That you can compare if you compare humans and animals. Animal are innocent, and dont understand why they are born in misery and hurt and pain and death...
For starters, who exactly deemed PETA, or you, the final arbitrator of whether death or a certain lifestyle is better? If you were in prison would you want to die? They live in very similar conditions. Yet most of them would just as soon live.
Prison vs innocent is different... Guilty vs Innocent is different... They may be similar, but the conscience is different of the living being.
Dogs aren't wild animals... we have bred them to domestication. A dog wouldn't survive "in the wild" very long at all. When people throw their dogs in the street, do you often see them running for the forest? Nope.
A dog liek any other animal doesnt understand being born in cages. Its better to die then spend a liftime in misery and suffering and wondering "Why?"
And yes, they get fed daily and most animal shelters are very good at what they do, even with the limited funding and assistance. And if your shelter is having a lot of problems with volunteers, perhaps you should offer your assistance, instead of advocating we kill them all.
I have. But dont have time. I dont try and associate myself to animals that will either be put to death. I get very attached and I hurt emotionally and physically. I rehab wild animals. I volunteer and soon work at this Wildlife rescue. We raise aniamsl abck to health, then rehab them
