I adopted my two fabulous dogs from shelters, however, I would never, ever try to influence public opinion by harassing anyone else about their choice. I respect the work that shelters do and in some ways what animal rights groups do but they hurt their cause when they think that intimidation is just. What is most alarming is that state or local agencies appeared to be involved as well and whenever government uses their "muscle" to do the same, well isn't that illegal?
