spca also ran out of space long ago. They also put the cats down.
I am just glad my estate people are tolerant of the cats. They are around and make going to work and home more pleasant. Seeing them is like seeing a family member.
cats are one issue, overzealous cat lovers are another.
I think, there are some people who are just heartless.

What I am concern is that your can champion your cause but should not use religion. Dun use kindness and compassion for weakness to uphold your belief.
Not everybody share your concern as there are more mundane priorities to settle and needs compassion too.
It all boils to education and information. Vegetarians can have a balanced diet too.

As for the second part of your post, is raising awareness wrong? The scope of compassion covers animals too. Various Buddhist material also educate about the karmic effect of causing the animals' deaths. People need to know the extent of damage that can be done by a single complaint, which can be just a phone call.

While I agree that they do it to have a sense of power, I have to admit that our own lives are pathetic as well. More the reason to achieve enlightenment and to help others achieve it. So let's not abide in the sense of self-righteousness in ourselves.

"Self-righteousness"? Killing a puppy for own enjoyment is hardly something that can be condoned by anyone with a conscience. If you mean we should try to cultivate self before criticising others. That I agree and I think compassion can guide us in the correct direction.
