    MONTREAL (CP) - Not everybody will get a new home on Quebec's July 1 annual
    moving day.
    City-run shelters have been set up to handle the human crunch of people who
    couldn't find or couldn't afford new accommodations as Montreal copes with >>continued tight vacancy rates. But more than 500,000 of Quebec's four-legged
    residents will be left to aimlessly wander the streets, peer anxiously from
    behind cage bars or simply be killed if no one adopts them.
    "Right now we have exceeded the capacity of the shelter," said Pierre >>Barnoti, director of the Montreal branch of the Society for the Prevention >>of Cruelty to Animals. The organization's two Montreal shelters now house >>around 600 animals.
    "Every tenant who's trying to move into a dwelling and has a pet has a >>problem in Quebec. Less and less landlords are tolerant of pets." >>Discover Canada with SearsTravel.ca


    Most of the abandoned animals are cats - about 65 per cent - and the >>remainder are dogs.
    Quebec displays one more example of its distinctiveness from the rest of >>Canada on July 1. When the rest of the country is focused on celebrating the
    country's birth, Quebecers are lugging furniture.
    July 1 has been the province's official moving day since 1973, when it was >>legislated to ease disruptions to the school year caused by the old moving >>date, May 1.
    That means most of the leases in the province end on the same day, clogging
    the streets with moving vans and filling the air with grunts.
    Often, Fido and Kitty are not toted along with the dishes and chairs.

    They get dropped off somewhere away from home, often lured away from their >>owner by what appears to be a friendly game of fetch - except the owner >>disappears before the dog brings back the ball. Other times they're simply >>abandoned until someone hands them over to the SPCA.
    Barnoti said the stress brought on by the abandonment often compromises the
    animal's immune system and sometimes it has to be put down when it becomes >>ill.
    "These are fantastic animals," Barnoti said. "There is nothing wrong with >>them except that the people who own them cannot have them any more in order
    to find an apartment.
    "Luckily, we've been increasing our adoptions every year for the past 10 >>years. I believe we have the record in Canada for the largest number of >>animals adopted so I still hang on to the hope that I won't have to >>euthanize too many animals."
    Barnoti didn't have cross-Canada figures for abandoned animals but it's more
    likely a seasonal concern. No other province mandates a single moving day >>and leases are staggered.
    But John Levi, president of the Canadian Association of Movers, said movers
    are still kept hopping.
    "This is the busiest season of the year for movers as kids come out of >>school, as job transfers occur mostly over the summer and people's leases on
    their rental accommodation come up at the end of the month," he said from >>Mississauga, Ont.
    Alan DeSousa, a member of the city of Montreal's executive committee, urged
    people to think twice before abandoning their pet.
    "It's an act of cruelty to the animal because it risks dying of cold, >>hunger, illness or injuries," he said. "As well, they create a public >>nuisance because in reproducing, they give birth to other strays." >>DeSousa, along with Patricia Tulasne of the Quebec Society for the >>Protection of Animals, urged people to find new homes for their pets instead
    of leaving them to fend for themselves.

    If you're a jew you have to wonder why people give more of a shit
    about pets than did about the jews in WWII.
    The answer to that should be obvious.

    Poor "JD Young", his trolling posts get no responses, so he's reduced to digging up old ones while smacked out.
    Such a sad case.
    As my favorite Brits used to sing "He'll be in his room, with a needle and a spoon..."
    There's help when you're ready, "JD"!
