the new year, what will it bring

Today is the first day of the new year, yet it bothers me that i know starting tommorrow the cycle of killing will begin again. Dogs & cats in shelters across this country that people just didnt have time for anymore, but the list of animals is more than just dogs and cats. its rabbits young kittens and pups, parrots, horses, if an animal has become a pet, then it has also become indanger of dying
when its new owner gets bored with it, what was the death toll for 2007 will america increase it this year, i can only hope that instead more americans will become aware of the problems facing our pets and there offspring, by raiseing the levels of awareness, and education in this country will we begin to make a difference, ,,,
