I was going to post a glowering thread on the PSPCA.

Then the pit mix that we adopted went bezerk and broke my cats jaw.

Now I think that Michael Vick should be treated as a folk hero for all the pit bulls he killed.

PSPCA probably still deserves some praise, but the fact that they didn't immediately euthanize this dog to make room for a friendlier and more deserving dog loses some of my respect.

i do not think it is inhumane to euthanize dangerous/unadoptable dogs. BUT, you lose a lot of respect/credence when you suggest that Michael Vick's actions were in any way justified. he tortured dogs, that is a far cry from euthanasia.

Maybe the dog you adopted should have been euthanized or maybe it should not have been adopted by someone who had a cat. not blaming you here, the PSPCA is responsible or confirming a dog is cat friendly before allowing someone who has a cat to adopt it. so unless you failed to tell them you had a cat or failed to properly introduce the dog and cat to ensure the dog was cat friendly before you left them alone together, i do hold them responsible for this.

i'm sorry about your cat. that is very unfortunate. but hundreds of people adopt pits and never have a problem.
