[luvhockey4ever]

@anebt It's stupid how they think animals are so much less important then people, or they think of them with less value.

[luvhockey4ever]

If u love them so much,

Why do u leave them there to die.

[eemintz1]

Why do people not take their animals with them? I would insist and demand to take my animals with me. I would refuse to leave until my animals came with me.

XD thats nice the old lady o well at leats you didnt say old hag or old bag XD

[CrazyCutesie]

at end after he said there is a deadline i thought he was going to say theyd be put down my heart dropped. but i told myself that theyre not. Please everyone look in your hearts an relize evry single animal has feelings. believe it or not WERE ANIMALS! WE ARE MAMMALS! Just because you think your weak dont make yourself think your stronger by abusing animals for no reason at all. remember youre stronger not to abuse anything rather than being weak by doing so.

please.. your ripping my heart out
