Oh wow, that's horrible. I'm not surprised, though. My DH is French and all of his family doesn't understand why we 'let those animals' inside the house. Pets live outside, no matter what the temperature or conditions, and they're fed table scraps rather than balanced pet food. They were disgusted at the idea that I have cats that live INside my apartment and I buy specialized cat food for them. If they weren't my FIL, I would've let them have it.
i heard this on NPR and was pissed. i can't imagine having to tell an entire country "hey, btw, don't let your domesticated animals roam free without the ability to care for themselves."
And I've known too many Americans who treat animals like they're just some disposable toy. Can we just hate on all the crappy people and not just France?
I think similar articles could be written about lots of places...here for instance,july 1st is moving day, so a similar thing happens with crowded shelters "my new apartment doesn't allow dogs" times one million people. Gross.
I'm kidding, btw. I agree that this could be written about any place, but it's just funny to see people more offended for the country than the pets. It's about the pets, people.
