There is no doubt that I am an animal lover, I even have a sign on my fireplace matel that says the more people I know the more I love my dogs.  He He!  It seems like everyone who decides they no longer want their pets or know someone who doesn't want their pets come to me.  My latest acquisition is 11 ringneck doves.  I have a co-worker who's brother moved and just left them behind. Why do people act as if animals are just to be thrown away like trash?  It really erks me that our society has so little regard for life, wether it be human or animals.  What are your thoughts??
