Pet owners threaten suicide
South Africa
10/12/08

Quote:
Some Cape Town pet owners love their animals so much they have threatened to commit suicide if they are forced to give any up in terms of a proposed bylaw which seeks to restrict the number of dogs and cats per household.

Others are so indifferent they feel nothing about tossing them out like pieces of rubbish.

A Cape Town motorist couldn't believe her eyes last week when the car in front of her in Koeberg Road slowed slightly, a passenger door opened and a puppy came hurtling out.

Chantel Sayed, who was driving with her husband Jaleel, watched in amazement as the dog rolled across the road.

LOL, damn! Now that is saying it like it is, I guess. Now, why can't they take them to shelters instead of "hurtling them down the road?" I don't understand that one. Too lazy to drive to the local animal shelter?

Clearly, a different country with the attendant different set of values - not to say it couldn't happen in the US of course.

I've seen people throw critters out like that...with a shelter less than a mile up the road!
