It just seems unspeakably cruel to destroy animals that can't speak  
for themselves (and yes, I'm a proponent of "no-kill" shelters).  But  
of course we have seen unspeakable acts of cruelty in our times in  
Germany, Rwanda, and now Dafur.  I read just this morning of an UK  
couple that shut up an epileptic man in a closet for four months  
where he died.   So I guess I shouldn't be surprised at the human  
capacity to be cruel - I can still be angry, though.
