Scanning the newspapers, the outrage of last week appeared in several newspapers. Subject sought to drum up sympathy of every animal lover anywhere. In a city like this through, the entire scope of the animal kingdom extends only to dogs and cats.

The humorously named city department responsible is of course, the City of Toronto Animal Services. The Toronto Humane Society, another humorously named organization, accused Animal Services of terminating about 25,000 dogs and unknown quantities of putty tats over the period of the last five years.

True and terrible information. Expressions of outrage must stream forth. It is an example of the callousness of city employees when it comes to those basic heart wrenchingmentals.

Indeed it is outrageous that these poor defenceless animals should be killed so needlessly. Euthanasia seems to have stepped up a notch, when it comes to the size of carnage. Any sane intelligent person would call this a wasteful slaughter.

Dogs and cats have provided humans with a tasty low fat, low cholesterol diet alternative for centuries. And the livestock is grown within the city boundaries which removes a lot of the cost of transportation. Its freely available livestock grown close to market. Such a protein provides fresh meat into the food bank system and feed needy people. Like me. Yummmy.
