PeTA KILLS!
Please - Spay/Neuter!
Each day 10,000 humans are born in the US - and each day 70,000 puppies and kittens are born. As long as these birth rates exist, there will never be enough homes for all the animals. As a result, every year 4 to 6 million animals are euthanized because there are no homes for them.

Dog Poem - “Bye Baby” (a positive poem about euthanasia)
BYE BABY
No more lonely cold nights or hearing that I’m bad
No more growling belly from the meals I never had.
No more scorching sunshine with a water bowl that’s dry.
No more complaining neighbors about the noise when I cry.
No more hearing “shut up”, “get down” or “get out of here”!
No more feeling disliked, only peace is in the air.
Euthanasia is a blessing, though some still can’t see
why I was ever born If I weren’t meant to be.
My last day of living was the best I ever had.
Someone held me very close, I could see she was very sad.
I kissed the lady’s face, and she hugged me as she cried.
I wagged my tail to thank her, then I closed my eyes and died.

I can hardly see the keybaord as I am crying my heart out after reading this poem. Why do these beautiful creatures have to suffer so much.

Your poem, although so very sad, is so incredibly important for everyone to read. People just don’t realise how many times every single day that this happens. Dogs just don’t understand. They only wanted to be your best friend, and they don’t know why they had to die to make room for more that will die. When are people going to wake up and see, that a dog, just isn’t “a dog!” Every dog deserves a chance, and sadly, so many people don’t understand the enormity of the situation, and the dogs that have to die for no other reason, but for overpopulation. Very sad.
