Do people know there is a difference between “rescuing” and animal and “adopting” an animal ?

When a shelter has to euthanize animals it’s not wrong. So if you adopt from them you didn’t rescue them you adopted them. Now many shelters have to euthanize animals they actually rescued. From slower and inhumane deaths or lives. To just say adopting a pet from a shelter and it not having been euthanized is rescuing it Ian to one put down the good work shelters do, and two really unhealthy grandeur. MO. I think I’m right I could be wrong.

Mercy killing is still killing.

@WeighedDown Yes. We should not kill animals, we have no right.

Hmm I’m not sure what you mean.. but yes killing is killing. But a shelter has a huge task since man has interacted with animals “culling” has always been a thing and it’s not wrong it is wrong to vilify that act. A farmers dog has puppies he culls the pups knowing he has to feed the animals he has and his fam right thing to do. A man ties up a dog to a tree and doesn’t feed it collar gets embedded dog dies wrong thing to do and not at all the same thing the shelters cannot just take in all unwanted animals they do their best and when they have to honorably Put the ANIMAL to sleep . If a person adopts it before that happens they didn’t rescue it they just adopted an animal hats a nice thing to do but it’s no rescue act. To push that issue is to push for delusions of grandeur. Not healthy for a person not healthy for a society. @WeighedDown
