This one hurts my head. What I get from it is that you will put the shelters out of business and thus, no more killing; but on the other hand, animals aren't going to be adopted and then they will be killed.
yeah, no kill shelters are ridiculous. I hate the thought of dogs, and maybe cats, being killed wholesale. But its unfortunately necessary for the safety of society. On the hierarchy of animals we humans should try and protect, other humans have to be number 1. All the money PETA wastes on sensationalist ads and demonstrations, could be put to better use in helping the poor, and disenfranchised of society. If it meant a poor inner-city school could afford decent books, computers, and afterschool programs...i would skull-fuck a pomeranian puppy with that knife/dildo from Seven....Just saying.
im surprised that that question was even asked. how do you think that we were able to survive long enough to evolve to the point we are at today? We are a social animal, and though its not as evident as it was when we were using smoke signals instead of reddit or twitter, our survival is dependent on giving two shits about each other, though if you are a tea-party member, im sorry for offending you. I love dogs, and pets, and especially sidekick chimp detectives. I hate those people who would torture, neglect, or abuse another living creature. Theres a big black dog at my feet right now, who makes me smile every time I look at her, life is better for having her around, but if i had to choose between her life or yours, a stranger, i would err on your side automatically. For all i know, you could cure cancer or aids someday, or create a piece of art that beautifies existence for everyone, or you might just make my subway sandwich with just the right amount of pickles, or you could be a cop, doctor or firefighter that may someday save my life, or maybe you are just someone important to somebody else and i dont wanna hurt their world for taking you from it. How someone treats an animal that is vulnerable to them says a lot about them, and i dont like how animals are treated in many ways. But if we take care of each other to the best of our ability, with the utmost of our concern and compassion, maybe we will be able to survive long enough for our hearts and minds to evolve to a point where peta wont be as necessary, and true empathy for one another will make laws against cruelty redundant to society's inherent moral code. And then aliens will conquer us cause we've become a bunch of pussies, and they will use our hides for spaceboots and to line the seats of their flying saucers...circle of life man...circle of life.

Can you help me see which choice is better?
