At what point does the low quality of life of a long-ignored dog necessitate euthanasia? What amounts to essentially lifelong imprisonment for an uncomprehending creature who just wants love seems cruel. I don't have all the answers, but the current state of things seems unsustainable. I wish all these dogs could be adopted right away, assuming they aren't dangerous, but it seems like real harm is being done in the name of avoiding harm.
