The homeless population doubled during covid, but the stray pet population doubled that! so were talking 4x more stray dogs and cats. Meaning thousands of people had to give up they're animals or go to the streets with them and thousands more just went to shelters and even more were abandoned due to shelters being full. I do believe (idk if just Oregon) but that the governor passed a no discrimination law on pets same as children so landlords cant say you cant rent a home due to having a dog or cat, saying that "Losing your dog or cat or any companion animal is the same as losing a close family member, like a brother, sister, or best friend" before passing this law. Pet shelters are donated thousands above their overall costs yearly and they do very little to no donating in way of vet bills vaccinations and or getting your dog or cat spayed or neutered, and its tragic and traumatizing, to know your dog has bitten someone and be in fear of them being killed or taken to live they're life out in a shelters kennel. T you are absurd for saying people shouldn't own one of these to be stray pets without your care, if they cant take them to a vet or pay the costs of anything related like getting spayed dog training vaccines or common costs based on societal forced standards or whatever because for the cost of one vet visit you can feed and house a dog and provide the dog with entertainment even for a whole year! they're should be help with companion pet health care for low income families and like listening to music on a quality sound system, pets should be only for well to do people that can afford to own they're own home and dog bites do happen often and due to laws or low income housing or disgruntled landlords if a dog does not cause blood in no vicious attack you should not have to kill or lose your animal for people are more liable to have been a cruelty factor in and for the lives of dogs that bite in the first place causing them to fear or be aggressive of other people and when people attack animals they're barely consequence if at all and some people who's dogs bite don't get in any trouble yet others do, it should be the same all around for all animals that bite and some of every shelters donations should by state mandate be ordered to go towards saving the animals lives especially when the animal that bit daily saves or improves they're owners life. Dog owners should always be held responsible to control they're animal and when they fail are subjected to having a class and or depending severity but should absolutely be treated much like a like a car accident and never affect your housing situation unless owner is blatantly negligent and disregarding previously enforced prevention rules and clauses then the dog should maybe be removed and trained from donation funds and nm what rehomed if and where at all possible. No dog is a lost cause and can be conditioned and trained and behaviors corrected nm how bad they became they were learned and can be unlearned too.
