Yes, I would expect people to care for my pets. I find it sad that a country that spends billions of dollars of weapons each year, on Iraq, and on this bullshit drug war, but can't spend a bit more to feed these animals. Just because on animal can't change the world like some people can, they still mean a lot of their owners who raised them, took care of them, and loved them, doesn't mean they should be left behind to drown in the undercurrent of shit. Damn US government!
