Euthanasia is a humane and merciful act--something that you do for an animal that is suffering and can no longer be helped. When someone kills an animal because they're done using it, it's a convenience killing. A little nitpick: Those dogs are not euthanized, no matter how the procedure is done.

I am thankful for the "heads up" so I may look a little deeper than just admiring the farms as I drive through. I hope to see something I may not have prior to the broadcast so I maybe I can alert MLAR, but at the least I will be more than happy to make a donation to help try to ease the burden and aid the wonderful work Main Line Animal Rescue workers/volunteers do. I just wish I lived closer so I could volunteer. God bless and keep up the wonderful work.

I apologize in advance if this sounds offensive, but my life-long fantasy of the wonderfully full, uncomplicated Amish life was brutally crushed 5 years ago when I toured and "worked" for a day at a large Amish farm. As a vegetarian, it's one thing to understand, albeit difficult, that animals are raised and killed for sustenance, but the manner in which those animals were housed (more like tightly "caged") and force-fed was outright shocking. I politely asked but received no reasonable justification or response to what I perceived as overt mistreatment of animals and fowl. As for the dogs, the "pets" were strictly outdoors and ran unrestricted, or occasionally chained to a shed or dog house. And now I will learn about the penchant for puppy mills....UGH!
