I am thinking of heading to the animal shelter this weekend?
Animal shelter
An animal shelter or pound is a place where stray, lost, abandoned or surrendered animals, mostly dogs and cats, and sometimes sick or wounded wildlife are kept and rehabilitated. While no-kill shelters exist, it is sometimes policy to euthanize sick animals, and any animal that is not claimed quickly enough by a previous or new owner. In Europe, of 30 countries included in a survey, all but four (Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, and Italy) permitted the killing of healthy stray
experimentation with animals in the city shelter until military authorities and medical groups could be contacted for their opinion. He told the council:
We are in a war [in Korea] and when this ordinance was passed some months ago representatives of the military, including the Atomic Energy Commission, appeared before this body and favored animal experimentation. I am not going to vote for repeal until I hear from them.
