Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

After having volunteered briefly in an animal shelter, the US has it's hands full shipping dogs from states in the south with poor laws to state in the north so the dogs dont simply get killed because anyone in the wrong states can buy and abandon a dog in the matter of a week. Cant tell you how many dogs we got from Georgia in particluar. Most were days away from execution, many were so young they weren't even finished growing. I imagine many more were killed.

I don't work in the field, but I follow it a bit. I live in Washington and we get tons of dogs imported from Texas.

I'm on the cat side of things in the South. I Foster the extra spicy ones and get them tamed up so they're safe for adoption. And the majority of cases cats here in South Carolina end up getting shipped up to New England because apparently they have a cat shortage up there and we have a surplus down here.
