JoeD 24 Posted October 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 the animals were treated savegly well before the war,and will continue to be.well after the war is over. Maybe they will...with that attitude, but I still think education will teach the good out there once the bad are out of complete power! But it is your oppinion I respect it, but I believe this is a great cause. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 6,174 Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 I believe this is a good cause, not only for the animals' sakes, but because the soldiers who have contact with these dogs and cats also benefit from their presence. Many soldiers will have left pets at home, or at their parents' homes. Having animals to care for whilst they are on active duty must surely help ground these lads and lasses, giving them something to care about, something which they can feel emotion for in situations where emotions must necessarily be held in check. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That is a great point! I never looked at it that way, but that is very very true! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
