Screwed the Pooch
Dear Editor:I have just read “Dogged Determination”
(October 2004, page 40), which I find most objectionable. Worth’s objective, I
suppose, is to improve one’s wealth or position, but to encourage or promote dog
breeding as a means to that end is unconscionable. Having worked with shelters
for over 35 years, I have seen the end result of the breeding of pet animals.
The millions of lives that are snuffed out because—through no fault of their
own—they are not wanted, is a tragedy. I will not go into all the gory facts
and figures on the animal overpopulation problem, but by publishing that
article, you have intentionally or unintentionally added to the situation.
Please be more enlightened when you promote “opportunities” in the
future. Lew Seidenberg, DVM
Grayslake, Ill. Worth welcomes your comments, critiques and suggestions. Please direct
your letters to letters@worth.com.
