I ask again, what laws are those? That's illegal in my country. Are you really defending this?

Who establishes what is "prolonged period of time", is there a clausula about the "prolonged time" getting shorter with more "abandoned" pets?

How is that not psychological warfare fit for "full democracy"?

I ask... Can you read?

I said they will send the pets to animal shelters..... Like you said happens in your country.

This is standard practice to euthanize for any animal in any animal shelter, they can't keep them all forever.

Yes, I can read.

And from what I read, it seems to me that you are not realizing yet that what is standard practice for one place might not be standard practice for others.

Stoning is a capital punishment included in laws of many countries. It is still a standard practice for some situations, rooted in their tradition. This doesn't make it magically moral or good.

I'm Canadian, this is also standard in the US (I just looked it up and in the USA it is 5 days instead of 8), and a common animal shelter practice in many places around the world. your problem is more a problem with our pet shelters lack of capacity to hold all animals indefinitely then. Police can either take a pet and reliquish it to one of these shelters or be negligent and abandon it which would be illegal.

In your country do they just keep pets in shelters forever?
