When Good Pets go Bad! – the Homeless Pet Crisis in America

No one has better defined how best to manage our situation with homeless Pets in America better than Mr. Albert Einstein. “”A human being is a part of a whole, called by us -universe-, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest… a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
 
Not withstanding is our own Brevard County Space Coast Feline Network (SCFN) who care for all the Feral cat colonies in the Space Kennedy Center (approx. 10,000 cats). This care include spaying and neutering all the animals as a solutions to the population control. Veterinary care for sick cats and food to keep them healthy. The cats are checked for Feline Leukemia, and Rabies.   I remember so clearly when volunteering for another totally unrelated Animal Shelter in San Jose, California and learning their policy for feral cats was simply to destroy them. Death Camps for our helpless lost and homeless pets. That was an idea, I couldn’t get behind, so I ended up never really completing the volunteering process for that Animal shelter.
 
 
Now I have the good fortune to discover Space Coast Feline Network’s No-Kill Shelter in my area, I just moved here six months ago from California. This is an idea I can support and get behind. I view the No-Kill animal shelters as humane and compassionate. If you’d like to help, please sign the petition for Brevard County to become a no-kill county please sign this petition: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/Make-Brevard-No-Kill-County.   God Bless You and Merry Christmas!!
