Pets abandoned in public park

[Catherine]

Halifax has pets dumped in Halifax Public Gardens. In Toronto they dump them in High Park. People dump guinea pigs and rabbits, hamsters and gerbils. Any pet that people can one somehow gets dumped at some time. There are shelters in every city. Toronto has many shelters and rescues. There is never any need to abandon an animal.

I am sure for everyone we find there are many others that die out there alone and afraid.  I would like to drop those people who abandon animals, into the bush alone, with nothing and see how they manage. I am talking about our Canadian wilderness. That's no walk in the park.

My little guinea pig Flora was found in High Park. She never got over her fears in all the time she lived with me. It left her afraid of everything, even an unexpected noise.

No little animal deserves that.
