Pet Owners Must Act Responsibly
* Re “Shelter Short of Time,” Nov. 8: How sad that county agencies such as the Orange County Animal Shelter now must expend what little resources they have to spay and neuter animals because pet owners won’t take responsibility for their animals.
There is an abundance of low-cost spay/neuter/shot clinics all over Southern California, so cost of care is not a legitimate excuse for owners.
I’d rather see the county shelter spend its time and resources on better screening of potential owners and the development of educational resources for people considering adopting a pet.
