Doreen M. Currier and others have done an outstanding job of helping the area�s homeless pets at the Worcester Animal Rescue League. People should take the time to be more responsible as individuals. It would make the job of shelters everywhere easier if we would each take responsibility for spaying and neutering our pets and sometimes helping someone else do this. There are many low-cost and no-cost programs for sterilizing our pets and also for feral cats.
Most people turn a blind eye to the plight of animals. �I�m too busy, it�s not my cat, I can�t afford it, it probably belongs to someone.� Please. Not caring, too self-involved, irresponsible. That�s more like it.
The next time you go to get that pack of cigarettes, designer handbag, etc., take a minute and think about what that money could do to help living creatures have a life. Donate money. That designer handbag will be in the trash next year. Money can be the gift of life. Foster animals, donate goods, services and your time. Don�t make the care of our stray and homeless animals someone else�s job. Help anyway you can. You will find saving these animals more satisfying than anything you have experiences.
Money only has value if you spend it wisely. Be smart and send what you can to the Animal Rescue League or to any group that promises to save the lives of animals. In most cases, we, as humans, have failed these animals and in many cases have caused their deaths by our actions. Take responsibility.
