I've seen dogs in homeless encampments wearing new flea collars, eating good food, when it's obvious that the folks have nothing! It's just wrong to hold out the promise of improving their circumstances, but only if they give up their pets. Very sad. Flo, I’ve made the same observations.

My lab is in Mapunapuna and when they swept the homeless out from under the freeway back in July I noticed there were 4 Humane Society trucks there. At the time I thought that's not fair. Where I am I watch the homeless a lot and they take pretty good care of their animals. They are treated a lot better then some who are chained in a yard and ignored. They mingle with the humans. The humans always find food for them. It's a nice thing to see. So I think you're right. They need to do something about the homeless with pets. I think having a pet keeps you in touch with your compassionate side and that is a good thing. Skeet, you raise a really good point.
