There are people likeyou and I who deal with things as they are. There are others who deal with things as they wish they were. Often the two are at odds.

Many years ago my cousin who wanted to be a vet but ended up as a doctor. Name does not match mine. He has won many awards-He is not in Florida.

My cousin worked at the ASPCA located at 94th st in Manhattan. I was let into the back that regular people never see. I was passed by gurney filled with dead dogs in positions like out of a horror movie. I don't know about now but at that time they would euthanize the animals by putting them in an airtight room and pumping the air out.

With this in mind, at my old house we had a cat give birth in my wood pile. CLEARLY THIS WAS SOME HUMANS ACT OF IRRESPONSIBILITY. I called the ASPCA and they told me that they have far too many cats and they would keep it for two weeks and if no one adopted them they would HAVE TO euthanize them. I called the Bydawee no kill shelter. They told me I would have to keep them for two weeks before they would take them. To take them they wanted ME to pay $75 for the mother and I think it was $25 for each kitten. The mother was of course none to friendly-protecting her young. I could not, I would not pick the kittens up for an accurate count but I guessed 6. So,
that would be $225 for someone else s CRIME.
