It’s the crime of living in a capitalistic society. The only thing that anyone recognizes is money. And stray animals being kept alive costs money. And space to store them costs money. And people to volunteer costs money.
Without money, the institutions collapse and it’s seen as acceptable to purge anything that was causing the system to lose money.
Empathy, like SS Musk says, is a “weakness” that capitalism has been purging from the system for centuries.
Yeah it is not the fault of the people working in animal shelters and in rescue. If there’s place for a hundred dogs but two hundred need places, what are you gonna do?? Kill those with most health issues, then those with serious behavioral issues, then the ones that are least likely get homes, and hope you get enough space so you don’t have to keep killing. It’s fucked up but it’s the reality of scarce resources

Austria is also a capitalist country.
