What a relief. We euthanize 2.7 million cats and dogs in the US annually because they are not wanted.

This makes complete sense.

Sorta like opening your borders to tens of millions of illegal aliens, and then encouraging more when you can't even begin to afford to pay interest on your debts.

Must be me.

Maybe they should've taken 23 dogs out of the 2.7 euthanized here every year, found homes for them and just say that they were from South Korea. Or is that not righteous enough?

Maybe we could initiate a plan on the coattails of 'Cash for Clunkers' success and have a 'Cash for Old Dogs' program. (Cats don't qualify)

Offer $500 dollars for every old dog turned in when adopting a brand new one. Of the 2.7 dogs and cats euthanized 1.2 million were dogs. The total cost to cover the entire 1.2 million would be $600 million or 1/5th the cost of 'Cash for Clunkers'

You guys are missing the point. They are simply trying to raise awareness. They eat around 1.5 million dogs a year in South Korea. I had no idea the number was that high until I read this article.
