Yup. Sometimes putting them down is only the option
I'm sorry but I disagree.
Sometimes animals have been abused and so ill that keeping them alive is no kindness. It becomes a quality of life issue.
However, money is also a factor with shelters. Which is why I dearly wish PETA would be stripped of it's donors and the money given to local shelters and the SPCA. But if you have the spare cash laying around to pay for every AIDs infected pet monkey, make homes for dogs with severe food aggression - which makes the shelter legally liable for anyone who is bitten if they adopt them out, and other victims of human abuse and neglect, I'll personally research shelters for you to donate the money to.
As I said above, we take animals to the vets if they are in a state of non-recovery, which I think your pointing at. I suggested a way of re-homing the animals in my previous post, which you seem to have completely over-looked. I do not condone keeping animals alive b/c some people are against putting them down, sometimes it does need to be done. But you came across as saying they should put the animals to sleep b/c they don't have enough room. I do not support peta, and I am not saying we should just give the animals to anyone. If there are aids infected monkeys, then perhaps they could be sent to a monkey welfare/shelter/reserve, where they can receive specialist care. I will apoligise if this is not the case, I have no experience of working with Monkeys, and won't pretend to know what their needs are, or if they can survive the aids virus.
As Maya pointed out, it's not about the money. It's up to the shelter whether they accept the animal or not. If Peta are taking in all animals regardless of space/room, then that needs looking into. As if they didn't do this, they wouldn't need to put so many to sleep.
