"When I was a kid" we grew up on a country road that was very close to our small town. It was all too easy to drive a couple of miles and toss out the unwanted pups and kittens. My Dad must have put down at least 8 in those days, which was common. We also took in a few. Dad was not "into" house pets. They all had to exist outdoors. We had a few coons, coyotes, and some of them didn't last very long.
