Sick to my stomach
I just read an article in todays paper about the seizure and slaughter of pets in Peurto Rico. I'm just sick, I can't believe this is permitted. I can't even type, I'm so shocked.

something to do about residents of housing complexes not supposed to have pets, and so they raided the housing complexes and took all of the pets and killed them horrifically.

I believe I read an article about people going to Puerto Rico and bringing dogs back with them. I guess that is the reason why.
That is just horrible.
