I killed your cat today. Not because I wanted to, because I had to. You see, when your cat bit the lady trying to help him, he wasn't able to show me proof of a rabies vaccination. I guess you didn't think to send that along with him when you dumped him off. I killed your cat today, and I want you to know how and why. I want you to know so that maybe, just maybe, you think about this before you decide to get another pet. I want you to know so you can see just how emotionally draining it is on those of us who chose to take responsibility for your pet. I want you to know your cat died on a cold, stainless steel table, in the hands of total strangers. Strangers who held him close and stroked his fur while he drifted off to a never-ending sleep/Karen Williams, county animal cruelty investigator. (Letter: Coeur d'Alene Press here.)

Question: Do you consider pets 'disposable'?
