So in the widespread condemnation of shelters/humane societies, what would happen if they didn't exist? Yes, there is disease and these animals have to live in cages and they get euthanized if they don't get adopted. But without them, many people may not care for their pets at all, there may be far more dumping of pets than what there is now and we would end up with a large feral dog and cat population. As I said in my previous post, there are efforts to make shelters better. It's not going to happen overnight but it's far better than just giving up on shelters entirely.
