  • With all the concern by armies of animal lovers it is perplexing to me that we haven't followed Germany's example for mandatory spay/neuter with permits for breeding. Could there be something to the increased widespread fear that the neurotoxins in flouride products are doing their job and making American's docile and fairly apathetic? Evidently it was used in prison camps to control prisoners.

  • @PKStefanini s/b Americans

  • Finally I can hear from the people who must kill them and see the pain they go through as well. There's no more space anywhere to keep them and we have no other solutions, it's depressing.. I have not had a dog in three years, my oldest died at 15 and when I decide to look for a new companion I will go to a shelter.

  • it's our faults.. humans.. we are responsible for this.. and until we stop breeding them.. they will end up dead.. I am so glad to hear DJ left that hell hole.. He at least has a heart.. spay and neuter your pets people.. maybe we should get a petition to sign to get a measure past to make it mandatory to have a pet spayed or neutered as a requirement of ownership..

  • I bet all the animals in this videos r already dead... Ever sinc I was small I wished if I was rich o would buy all the animals from the shelter and let my maids take care of them :)

    But I'm not sure if this would happen :(

  • And just to think... all of the animals in this video.... are dead now

  • This is the terrible reality in our society :((((just adopt dont buy !!!

  • Bless you for being so strong to do what other people won't.

  • This is what society has come to these days, everyone wants a bigger better now. Just like a pair of shoes, who would want some used ones when you can just buy them new? Instead of people adopting animals out of shelters, they breed more and more animals.

    Its a terrible thing ):

  • I started cryin when o saw this video...I have two dogs and can't imagine goin through this REMEMBER SPAY AND NEUTER UR PETS PLEASE!

  • I feel for the shelter euthinasia techs that have to do this all the time,it's not their fault it's whoever didn't spay and neuter who is responsible for this happening...

  • THE REALITY IS YOU COULD DO MORE TO HELP PETS GET ADOPTED! BEING OPEN 3-5 HOURS A DAY 3 DAYS A WEEK ON DAYS AND HOURS THAT MOST PEOPLE ARE WORKING AT ANIMAL CONTROL WHERE PEOPLE DONT EVEN KNOW ABOUT IT?

  • Let me make a note. I have never neutered (I spay). I have never ONCE had a litter from my males..ever. So I have no contributed to the over population. Its not the people who are responsible about owning an intact pet, but rather those who breed and just dont give a shit. I choose to keep my males intact for their health. My rescue is a female and shes spayed. I have never bred and never will :)

  • WHAT THE FUCK MAN!!! ANIMALS ARE SUPPOSE TO BE PROTECTED NOT HARMED....FUCKING HUMANS.....

  • So sad !!!!!:(I started crying and I'm balling now halfway thru the video !!!:.(

  • Over the years I have gotten all of my pets at the shelter. I have never bought a pet at the pet store. Shelter animals make excellent pets. When a person rescues them that pet is very loyal to them.

  • If i had money i would open up a no kill shelter and if they were way too many animals i would give them away for free rather than being killed. You see how expensive it is to buy a dog or cat at a pet store. But if its free or cheap to get a pet than people should go to these shelters and adopt. I wish i could help someway

  • this video really hit me.

    I can't imagine having to kill innocent animals and still be able to sleep. taking a humans life is preferable to countless animal lives, but i digress. people should adopt more and spay more. this is a damn genocide

  • After 4 years, only 42,665 views???

  • @LCFlowercandy

    is there something i can do to get it seen?

  • @Bumperdog - sent you an email.

  • @Bumperdog unfortunately, no

    youtube only promotes videos of their sponsors and partners, as well as musical groups like soulja fag and crack fiend wayne ... basically shit that doesn't matter gets put in front of the line while these videos are put in the back

  • @Bumperdog Facebook?

    I favorited this when i first saw it and I link it to people a lot lol I think it's a good wake up call.

  • this is why i hate kill shelters there useless. in my eyes there the same as slaughterhouses just a little nicer living conditions but not much. yet there are still breeders and still the people that get the pure breed dogs to show off the friends. plus all the people that don't get there animals fixed because "guys feel for the dog or cat get fixed" or "it's to much money" DONT GET THE DOG OR CAT THEN. I'm so tired of all the excuses that people uses

  • this video is so touching, sad, and beautiful.........bless you for doing the job no one wants.....giving them the ONLY love they may EVER know....God Bless you

  • i cant stop crying

  • all the blame goes to the breeders (even the responsible ones) and irresponsible owners. no matter what kind of dog you want, you can find a rescue group. whether it be an english bulldog or a cockapoo, puppy or old, there are rescue groups with dogs that need homes. STOP buying from breeders and pet stores.

  • as someone who works at an animal shelter, these people need to contact their local government and change their laws regarding animal care. there are many shelters who have no-kill rules or only euthanise in extreme circumstances, and there's really no excuse for a shelter to have to put that many animals to sleep. if they're full, send animals to another shelter. make a foster program. bring in volunteers to socialize the animals. apply for grants or set up fundraisers.

  • I live in an area with a high euthansia rate. They move the animals into other shelters when they have space. they have foster programs. They have volunteers- actually they don't have a paid staff anymore. They run fundraisars and ask for grants.

    It' d be nice, but it's not always possible.

  • 1:00 someone should put you to sleep. You're making a living, so don't act as if you care. All you have to say is NO. So shut up.

  • They can't say no! Are they suppose to take 10 000 dogs home so they don't have to die? There is no room. Anywhere. They have no choice! No one could ever pay me enough to do their job. It's hard.

  • YEAH

  • @toepedi I read this kind of comment all the time and you are wrong. Listen. The animals come in. Their owners don't pick them up. The county doesn't have enough money to keep them forever. If they are put back out, they will die by starvation, or disease, or tortured by crazy people, or sold to laboratories, or hit by cars. The CANNOT survive on there own. The few who DO survive become a threat to you and me and rabies WILL return - the worst disease ever, so we can't allow that (more to come)

  • @toepedi So a woman like this sees the truth and knows that since they will die anyhow, she lovingly and tearfully ends their lives while holding them.

    You just aren't facing facts if you think she is to blame. The blame lies with anyone and everyone who breeds or buys pets. For each pet purchased, one will die - for sure.

  • These shocking euthanasia statistics are caused by human beings who elect uncaring politicians that create bad laws which do not protect animals from the stupidity of our species. We can send rockets to the moon and yet we cannot prevent this disgraceful murder of innocent animals, it saddens me and we must do better than this if we are to evolve in a civilised and humane way, we are falling way short at the moment. Pet shops should not be allowed to sell animals and backyard breeding must end.

  • This is exactly why laws need to be made to restrict breeding. Overpopulation is the reason this happens. Dont support puppy mills, pet stores, or breeders. Adopt from your local shelter and save a life!!!!!

  • Yes, this is a simple way that each of us can make the world a better place!

    Many think that it won't matter if they get "just one" pet from a breeder, or rationalize similarly, but it's simply not true. Every time you support someone who makes money off animals, you perpetuate the tragedy shown in this video.

  • This is why everyone needs to spay or neuter their pets and not give up on a pet when they become "inconvenient"! :o(

  • When there is a child on the street, cold and alone, do people kill that child at a shelter... no. This has to end, NOW!!!

  • DJ and everyone who has to preform euthinasia,I know you don't want to do it.I feel for you, if only people spayed and neutered,It's not the shelter workers faults at all.I truly feel for shelter workers who have to do this,Bless you all for caring so much for the animals you care for at the shelter everyday.I volunteer at a local animal shelter and I tell people please spay and neuter and to adopt a shelter animal.I too feel for the animals and have gone home and cried at times because I care.

  • I think a good solution is for shelters to offer very cheap/free dog training classes for owners and very cheap/free spay and neutering for this animals.

    Also, those that are disturbed this this: This is what happens to unborn babies every day. Dumped in garbage cans. Destroyed because of people's selfishness and heartlessness.

  • that would be a great idea , except that a majority of the shelters are non-profit and can barely keep going on the funding that they currently have.

  • god damnit that made me cry so bad.

    As soon as that guy cried i started bawling.

    That is a guy with a heart. wow

    This really is a reality check, more people need to see this.

  • Yes, DJ has a huge heart. He now works at a no-kill shelter and no longer deals with the euthanasia of homeless animals.

    Of course, the situation is worse than ever now at the city shelter because of the high foreclosure and unemployment rate in Las Vegas.

  • Thats good for him but its sad that the situation has gotten worse T^T

  • There's tons of stray cats where I live, I try to take care of them, most were dumped off at my house.There's too many to get them fixed,I can barely pay for their food.Getting them fixed and taking them to a vets not an option.Most of the cats are girls I heard it cost $20 to put them up for adoption or get them put to sleep, spaying cost $80. They're really sick and hurting.I know if I keep them then they'll get pregnant and have more suffering babies. I wish I had another option... :'(

  • Google to see if there's a feral trap-spay-and-release program in your area (generally start with "feral cats" and your location), or perhaps contact some local vets for ideas.

  • Okay i'll search around for the spay and release thingy, thanks :)

  • This made me cry.

    I'm going to go hug the hell out of my dogs now.

  • I honestly believe Nathan Winograds theory of no kill shelters. We need more education for people to not breed thier animals. To kill is totally disgusting and I would never ever donate to a kill shelter when there are many other ways. I just recently adopted an 11 year old rottweiler from a shelter. Her family of 11 years no longer wanted her. That disgusts me also.

  • Does anyone know where part 2 is?  I couldn't find it in this person's profile. :S

  • It's Cruel,it's bad.

    Breeding needs to stop.

    =\

    I hate this..I hate they have to get put down,I hate everything that happen's to them..

    ._.;

  • The buck stops with us. Looking after your pets is for their entire life.

  • Another thing I forgot is that my shelter is located in Lancaster County PA, home of the amish. We have to deal with them breeding and abusing animals. The amish claim that it is against their religion to spay/neuter the animals. If any of you have ever seen Oprahs puppy mill episode, then you know what we are up against. Lancaster needs to find another way to draw in tourists!

  • Not only to people have to spay/neuter their pets, they should keep them until their final day of life. I work at a shelter, I am animal care/euth tech and rescue coordinator, I feel the pain of murder. So many animals are surrendered to us because the owner is moving and can not take it with them, because of allergies, because they had a baby, the cat hates the new puppy, the saddest is "I just do not want it anymore." I think the biggest problem is that people think animals are disposable.

  • Exactly. Too many people come up with lame excuses not to keep the pets. They don't THINK before getting a cat. Do they have enough room?  Do they have enough money? Does your whole family get along with pets? Any allergies in the household? What's the condition of each family members? Does your other pets get along with new pets? The keywords are PLAN and THINK!! People have brains for a reason. Use it!

  • i dont mean to sound... you know, childish or whatever, but i couldnt help but let the tears out when i saw this. i have a dog that is going on 9 years now. he was abused and we rescued him from the pound. i could not ask for a better companion. he was abused as a puppy and it just breaks my heart to think that all his little brothers and sisters that were jumping up and welcoming me into their lives, all of them were probably killed. i honestly could never work in a place so depressing. xRiPx

  • that's not childish AT ALL.

  • OMG I CRIED MY EYES OUT.....

    lets help stop this

  • Hey, PETA kills animals. And not nicely like these folks. Google PETAkillsanimals.

  • I read about that. That was people who joined peta and then killed the animals. They used themselves being a member of peta to cover up the crime. Peta did not send those people to kill the animals.

  • This Video breaks my heart. I wish People would open their eyes. How can it be that these innocent animals have to die and never get a chance in life? Where is the concience of Breeders and Owners? I live in Germany now and there are no "Kill Shelters". There are many, many unwanted pets here too but they get a chance. I volunteer at my local shelter and some of the dogs have been here for nearly 10 years and are still up for adoption. How can it be so different in the States?

    EDUCATE!

  • ...all because some people think of animals as objects to show off and not as companions.

    A liberal populace in a liberal wasteland (outside of the people in this animal shelter)could care less about these animals.

  • Do not blame these people. It is not their fault. Its the breeders fault, its the people who do not take care of their pets fault. You can obviously see it hurts these people. They do not enjoy their work. Its like a solider who goes to war. Its not like these people kill for fun.

  • :((((waaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh i cried. :( i would like to adopt them all if i could.

  • This is not comparable to a slaughterhouse or fur trade. If they had the funding, they would not euthanize so many animals. They work there for the animals they can adopt out. The ones they can save. They don't euthanize animals and sell their fur to make money. I am in rescue and you cannot save all the animals. The ignorant people who do not spay and neuter and have no regard for animal is who you should be lashing out at.

  • Watch part two.

  • its call ppl who buy from breeders and who breed. These jobs are cuz nobody who has no heart would dare do this job, this job is something that needs to be done, and irresponsible AND responsible breeders are a part of. o adopt a dog and fuck urself dude!

  • I work at a cat society, Its great.. The cats are so loving... The dogs are on a farm.... once we even had a rabbit.. I adopted a cat an older cat..

  • i need some body to hug waaaaaah

  • Bravo once again to you bumper dog more people need to see this more people need to see what happened when people breed the pets with out though...a few bucks in someones pocket is not worth a few thousand lives left to die alone in a shelter. a few bucks in someones pocket is not worth the thousands of tears there people shed due to a bad breeder or irresponsible owners. in fact it's the other way a few buck out of the pocket is worth the millions of lives that a few simple dollars can save!

  • What the fuck, humans are sick.

  • I suggest we all stop fueling the troll that is the completely ignorant Ihavenoname1980. Obviously this person is not educated enough to research their opinions and have anything of merit to add to the discussion. Thankyou Bumperdog, for bringing a very important issue to light with this video. Sad as it is, and hard to watch, education to spay , neuter, and adopt, stop backyard breeding is the only way to make a real difference. I feel so bad for these workers. My heart goes out to them.

  • i volenter at a animal shelter

  • Poor thing probably thinking it was going out for a walk... god bless you in heaven.

  • I cried watching this, we had a bit of a shit day at the animal shelter I volunteer at today, and this just topped it off... and I burst into tears. :-(

    People suck.

  • it breaks my heart seeing a video such as this. hoping that one day all this suffering will end. please people lets help and support in what way we can...

  • Yes I do work. I make good money and I donate to NONE KILL shelters only. If these people are such great people then I figure they can hold down a real job and kill animals on the side. You are sure an angry mother fucker. You must be one of the accused.

  • You should be donating to these shelters then - so they do not have to make the decision to euthanize. Sounds like you have it all figured out!

  • i just watched a case on tonights news, some teenager broke into a house and killed their cat in their microwave! i dont have pets but i hope mistreating and abuse can stop!

  • listen kid... people who work at shelters are NOT mentally sick. didn't you see the people in the video? couldn't you feel their empathy and love for the animals? Shelter workers do the dirty work, for community members who continue to breed despite overpopulation, who surrender their animals, dump their guilt, and shift the blame onto shelter staff for a problem they created themselves. it's a sad world. go adopt a pet or something and stop shifting the blame.

  • I am a kid huh? You are to stupid to see the truth. I can prove to you that people that kill animals every day have a propensity to be mentally ill. And dangerous to society. You still did not respond to my statement. If these people care so much, why don't they work for free. Also I do adopt. Please go fuck yourself.

  • maddix- "ihavenoname" should not adopt any animals- this person is obviously the one who is mentally ill. Look at the misspellings and name calling

  • Sharon, on yes TYPOS are a good indication of mental issues. Just typical of the name calling YOU JUST committed. You have no idea who I am or what I do. Go fuck yourself, you professional animal killer.

  • Save them how? when you run into surplus animals, there are simply not enough homes. No matter what kind of money you try and throw at the problem.

    Idiots need to STOP breeding their animals, and stop buying these animals. Get your pet from a reputable source, and don't support the cruelty.

  • Hhen i am older, i am going to adopt as many shelter animaks as i can...they don't deserve to be homeless

  • I work at a shelter, and I have to help with the Euthanizations. To those who think we can STOP it..how?? The ONLY way is to get your pets altered, quit buying pets, and adopt from the shelters..it will take YEARS to help the situation.

    If you feel shelter workers are in the wrong...go to a shelter & volunteer, Go save the animal who was freed because it is more humane and help save it after it was hit on the road, or starving, or dying of a disease!

  • Hello, don't know if you meant my comment, if so: I am street worker and take care of feral cats, all my (six) cats (two disabled ones too) come from shelters. I do NOT think that shelter workers are in the wrong - totally opposite! I work with different organisations, I do know the sad truth and I do know the hard and mainly wonderful (for the animals) work they do. Spending time and money for the abondoned lovely creatures. My comment was meant to encourage shelter workers!

  • My comment was meant for jrosler04. ;)

  • The more one gets introduced with animal rescue, the more the hate to humans can grow. As they just dump their sick or old or inconvenient animals. It IS very sad, but by the way, you treat the animals, how you behave when you put them asleep, it is still better than letting them suffer anymore. The humans mind must change. They must be aware that a pet belongs for a life time, not for a mood. Thank you for being so kind to the shelter animals, so that their last days are not too bad.

  • Thank you so much for posting this. We NEED to see this. It's shocking and disgusting that this crisis has been virtually ignored by the public for so long.

  • After The Video Your Just Like , Omg I Need To Help..

    It's Sooooo Sad!

  • This is why i adopt from the pound. And why i havent brought my dog to the pound, as much as she pisses me off. I dont want her to die with strangers, i've had her for 8 years.

  • Oh Dear God I Couldnt Watch It All And I Skipped Forward And The End Made Me Cry Those Innocent Animals Getting Killed Oh God I Really Want To Make A Difference :'(

  • I seriously cried when I saw this. All those poor animals are fricking helpless. I feel so sorry for them because I can't do anything to help...

  • You may not be able to help the ones in the video, but you can help prevent more animals from suffering this fate. Educate your friends, family, and public officials. Talk about the importance of spay/neuter to prevent the unwanted births. Help stop the killing. Encourage people to adopt from rescue groups and shelters. DON"T BUY PETS FROM PET SHOPS!!! ADOPT!!!! Spread the word....

  • meh

  • i totaly agree with afa78djd!! we should let them go and be free! i love animals i wanna kill all those sick fukers that kill & abuse animals! i hope they all go to hell!!

    <33

  • I am crying right now ,

    I plan on being a vet when i am older ,

    and i dot know how i am gogi t o manage .

  • Hey dumbasses its better from them to be killed than starve yo death which is worse than dieing almost instantly. We cant just let them gothan the cities will be overfilled with animals and they will be runned over with cars and stuff...

    Think people THINK

  • and how is killing the more compassionate than letting them loose?

  • I can't even imagine how letting animals starve to death and suffer from disease is 'compassionate'. Ignoring the problem is not going to fix it. Leaving them loose will only compound the problem. There is a lesser of two evils and putting them humanely to sleep is it. It's the best we can do right now but if we all work hard to educate people and encourage adoption and spay & neuter then in the future maybe killing them won't be a forced option. :)

  • Because letting them loose would cause a slow painfull death.; Much more humane to euthinize that let loose.

  • ADOPT ADOPT ADOPT! We just adopted our second rescue- abrindle pittie. He is the most gracious thing alive. I am so lucky to have him in our family.I can't save them all but I made a difference to these 2 guys. Please consider adopting-it's practically free and the payback is enormous!

  • I am so thankful for this video - it shows the real pain behind the reality of what happens to thousands of homesless, abandoned and lost pets - we need as humans be more responsible when it comes to the care of the animals in our lives !

  • i'm just crying .

    it's too sad :'(

  • That ruined my day!! GRR!! It defently changes my personal outlook on people.

  • OMG! They just stacked them in trash cans!!

  • I think we don't have the right to take over the world and choose what fate animals should have. They are just like us. We should not control them and kill them because they have no home. Why animals? Just because nobody doesn't have a home doesn't mean they should die. They belong here. I hate this freakin world!! GOD!!!! Us humans think we rule the world. We're just like other animals!! GRRR!!

  • this world is really retarded. Things like this makes me wanna sream and cry. Which I already did. Sad. Have no words to describe it.

  • wtf. this is what havens when u dont spay and neuter ur animals

  • That completly broke my heart, I always wanted to work with animals growing up but because of the more saddness that goes on, I couldnt do it, They are doing what they feel needs to be done, I dont agree with it , but its way less painful for the animals, then labs or china getting a hold of them....

  • to see that tech cry was heartbreaking,i cant even imagine how they feel when they euthanize those poor sweet animals

  • omg :( I am crying so hard I hardly even type...

    We should put the human race to sleep, definitely.

  • holy shit thats sad. why the hell do they kill them? your right there are too many humans. they shouldn't do that.

  • tht is heartbreaking :(

  • How come we can kill animals because there are too many of them yet we can't kill humans the same way?. Animals aren't any different. Don't adopt an animal and give it false hope if it's going to end up heartbroken and in a cage somewhere because you're too irresponsible to take care of it later.

  • Absolutley heart breaking......

  • i couldn't stand this...

    i started crying half way through

  • I don't understand one thing, Shelters are for supposedly rescuing lost pets, right? Well, since when does putting them to sleep become an option? Is that part of the "rescue"? What?, isn't the planet big enough for all these animals? Just let them loose, or better, don't pick them up off the street in the first place, or take them from people who don't want them no more! These are living creatures, souls like us for crying out loud!!!

  • Completely agreed.

  • It's better to take them in and try to find them homes than to leave them on the street to keep breeding or die of starvation, disease or worse. There needs to be a solution and 'let them loose' and ignoring it isn't it. If you feel strongly about saving animals though then go volunteer! Go do what you can to help your local non-kill shelters. :)

  • Thats not my point dude, you see, animals were here way before us, since when the hell do we humans, have the right to determine thier fate? We've been messing up their habitats, domesticating them, and making them dependant of us. So why should we complain if the overpopulate and die in our cities?

  • This video is pretty sad..it was good though,..it shows the truth of what they do..its stupid to put an animal down just bcuz theres too many...There are more ppl in this world then their are animals..ppl kill an animal everyday...I think im gonna go shoot off a couple thousand humans just bcuz i think theres too many walkin the streets...im not gonna do thta cuz im not sick like some ppl are..but killin animals just cuz theres no room for them is wrong and needs t be stopped

  • STOP BREEDING THEM.

  • that was soo sad . that i almost cried . that was soo beatiful . i loved it . i hope you can make another one . but exactly how many dogs get put down?

  • As like China, India also kill animals cruelly, they slaughter them in almost the same manner, though not as cruelly, in as much Canada also kills seals by beating then to death. To answer your question Ashish1985.

  • sorry sr1215cl, America isn't the last hope in showing the world that animal abuse is evil. What country ur in doesn't determine that. It depends on each individual person to make a difference, no matter where he is in the world.

  • At lease this people have emotions and really care about this animals, unlike other parts of the world like China, India. America is the last hope in showing the world that animal abuse is evil.

  • How do u get India into this !!!

  • sr1215cl.. don't stereotype like that. I completely disagree with animal cruelty but don't really go so far as saying that other countries don't care about animals. And what do u mean India also slaughters in almost the same manner, though not as cruelly as China.. meat factories all across USA probably do much worse. They slaughter the animals in massive quantities although not as cruelly as some cases in China u might add. So i don't get how u dragged India into this either

  • thats aweful! this makes me want to go hug my cats and dogs my grandmother adopted a dog from this lady who wasnt able to take care of him anymore...and she found out weeks later that if she wouldnt of took him from her he'd be in a shelter :'( and thank god she took him hes a beautiful dog and very loving

  • dude watch the fur farms videos the dogs are alive when all there skin is gone its disgusting and they jump on them and smash them to the ground there all sick

  • How do you see those videos?

  • i literally cried big time in this.....its just so sad. killing them while they think they are gonna go home to a great place but instead they get gassed to death!...i cried so hard on this. please let this stop! who even thought of this idea of killing them when they are unwanted.

  • Whats up with the country bashing? killing these animals are no different from killing cows or pigs for food. they're animals too. So don't be hypocrites. we're humans, we take out rain forests and kill "wildlife". We literally pollute this planet. Wanna help this planet? End the human race.

  • You Guys from the United States are sick. you got to be killin somethin or shotin somethin or eatin somethin.Go To Hell

  • um ok well at least we don't skin animals alive just for their fur. we don't enjoy burning animals alive & put it on Tv, we don't eat dogs, we don't have mass euthanasia of all pets b/c we think they all have rabies. If you wanna know a TRUE inhumane country? Just ask China... and other countries. In other countries pets are "property" but most people here see them as family

  • What are you talking about? Here we have a HUGE fur industry that isn't regulated. The only reason we kill (electrocute) animals here before we skin them is because most have delecate fur folicles (chinchillas) or are vicious (minks, foxes)

  • (Continued)

    True, Americans don't generally eat dogs. But we eat cows, goats, chickens, turkeys, and pigs (which are smarter than dogs.) What is the difference? That they are labled "livestock"? Well with America's huge business of puppy mills they are pretty darn close.

  • Ok well this is all off topic, but I was just trying to defend our country since there are many GREAT things about America & scott labeling us as sick people isn't very nice & it's not true. Other countries are way more inhumane than we are, but you are right, we're not perfect

  • i sent you a video of 3 dogs in our life that where rescued .look at all my dog vids . adopt a dog make your life better . save theres .wake up USA

  • so very sad!....theres a person out there who has alot to answer for for each animal thats put to sleep due to there neglect!...a animal is for life!!!!!...i have a yorkshire terrier which was a rescue dog, she had two days left before we got her ,else she also would of been put to sleep!

  • omg that is the sadiest thing im gonna get a puppy soon and ill make shure i get one from a shelter! :[

  • That's GREAT! Thanks for planning to save a shelter pet!

  • funny, i see lots of euthanasia but i never felt anything about it...

  • God night and may God bless, Red Skelton

  • Cause US to play God

  • People who know stay silent. People who think they know rant. Unfortunately the people that rant cause us to play God.

  • As I read through the comments on this video, someone pointed out how the animals are loved by shelter personnel in their last moments, and by god, that is the truth. THEY make the animals' lives comfortable at the end. THEY hold them as they're being euthanized and taking their last breaths. THEY feel their bodies go limp as the euthanasia drugs circulate through their veins and you can smell it on their breath. Do not EVER tell me shelter personnel don't care.

  • I think that was me but I can't remember haha. Some people don't SEEM they care. But like it says in the video, you never get over what they have to do. Each time they euthanize, it emotionally feels like their first time. It's just as hard each time.

  • Some guys (and women) just like to seem "macho" & just hide their feelings so it doesn't seem they care (trust me when i went to a shelter & i saw a family turn in their dog & 5 minutes later the dog was euthanized, and when I asked the guy if he euthanized the dog already, he seemed like he didn't care at all when he told me yes. I was angry b/c he acted like it was no big deal) But we don't know what they go through... and I KNOW they do care!

  • This makes me cry. 0:36, look at his face. My dad is thinking about taking my dog to the pound but he'd just end up like these. Look at all these animals, imagine how it would be sitting in there, knowing that you most likely wil die after 6,3, or 9 days. Adopt from pounds.

  • Don't breed ot buy while Shelter pets die. SPAY or NEUTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Unless you breed TOP animals, neuter your pets. PLEASE. This film has me crying more than the archival films of children in concentration camps. Mankind is so cruel!

  • Thank you Bumperdog and coming from you it means a lot.

  • Well said, girlfromuncle.

  • cherneyrox, we that euthanize unwanted pets are cleaning up the mess made by those that don't want to take responsibility. We kill innocent animals because it's illegal to kill irresponsible pet owners. You could build the largest shelter in the world and it wouldn't stop overpopulation, only education and spay/neuter will.

  • How would u like it noone wanted u and u had to be euthanized cuz noone wanted u? u DO NOT MURDER UNWANTED PEYS PERIOD! I VOLUNTEER @ A SHELTER THAT ONLY PUTS DOWN BITE CASES, REALLY MEAN DOGS, AND TERMINALLY ILL PETS REGARDLESS OF KENNEL SPACE.

  • I'm w/ Bumperdog, that was VERY well said, girlfromuncle!

  • Wow imagine if they were skinned how much $ can that shelter made from all these animals selling their fur.

  • you are a sick person

  • i cried...

  • this is so touching

    i'm getting my next dog from the shelter for sure

  • I think that this should be required viewing for every moron who thinks it's funny to post videos of their dogs and cats mating on this site. People think it's a riot to tape their dogs "having sex" and then when the puppies are born they just take them down to the shelter because "someone will want them". Well, most of them are going to end up just like this while those people are at home having a ball watching their dogs make another litter of pound puppies.
