Latest comment in South Africa

Sharlene Bergh says... I blame the human race for the stray dog population, and that these poor animals are being "culled" - what an ugly name for an innocent dog who is starving and trying to survive - making an effort to get some food. It is the human who makes no effort to feed or sterilize their dogs, and if they did - there would not be this problem. South Africa should be stricter on the Animal Protection Law - and any owner found NOT doing the above, should be fined heavily. Why must an innocent creature always suffer?
Don't blame the dogs !!! Read the article...
