He is right, things are better for animals. Things are better in a lot of ways all around the world. In particular we are more aware of animals being euthanized and a lot is being done to stop it. The changes needed don't happen suddenly, but the trends are in the right direction. There are movements to rescue animals. There are spay/neuter programs and clinics. There are even animal airlifts to take excess strays to areas that can accommodate them.

I know when we hear about all the bad stuff going on it gets discouraging, but maybe that should make us hopeful. The bad stuff always went on, we just did not know about it so we couldn't help.
