Letter to the Editor: Unwanted pets could face vicious critters

This is to anyone that has ever dropped a dog or a cat off on a country road or is thinking of doing it assuming a farmer will care for or find a home for your unwanted pet!! What makes you think it is easier for a farmer to find a home for your pet versus you? It is a form of animal cruelty in my eyes! Just this week we find yet another unwanted dog on our property and we are going to have to find it a home. We already have two rescue dogs (we just lost our third rescue this last week to cancer) and it takes a lot of work and love to take care of those two. People need to man up to their responsibilities and take care of their own problems. So think twice before you ASSUME that someone else will care for your pet because the someone could be a coyote or other vicious critter that your unwanted pet will encounter on that lonely country road.
