I don't think I have the words to express enough how much I love this idea and wish it could happen. There is no excuse to be a bad owner of animals. Don't own them if you can't care for them with love and respect. I think if 'love one another' was meant just for mankind, then God would've said 'love your fellow human.'
Animals are a great example of forgiveness so I'm not sure how many folks would be in the pound. Some people complain about the loud barking of dogs but they really aren't the ones to blame, but the owners are. Is it hungry, thirsty, or given attention?
'All creatures great and small, God created them all.' We have a responsibility to watch out for them, protect them and speak up for them when they are mistreated.
Amen for that! And if the only thing to complain about is that they bark too loud, then get a basenji!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely amen to this post! I'll bet the pound would be full, and should be. Even the word "pet" implies love, care, concern, attention. Why would people even want one if they are going to mistreat it? I love that saying, "Our pet is part of our family....he/she lives here, etc, etc." And, I feel the same way about children....if you are not going to love and take care of them, don't have them. Okay, don't get me started. Happy Monday....love you, T.
