Writing grammatically correct Shakespeare Early Modern English and regular Modern English…hell just writing in general is a huge pain. Kudos to the historical fiction and fantasy writers and all these historical SexyViolentTudors! type TV series’ screenwriters that soak this Renaissance and grammar stuff up and make legitimate serious fare with such language or that can actually pass as such. I still judge your uses of wyverns and hot elves though.

Thank god I’ve decided this play breaks the fourth wall a lot so the language comes and goes with the quips and characters drop it constantly but craaaap

So you think animals in NYC are safe because of ASPCA and Sarah Mclachlan commercials and Animal Cops? Not so. The ASPCA only handles so much, while animal control still handles the bulk of all animals. Most do not find homes.

NYC ACC is underfunded, corrupt management and nasty “shelters” where over estimated 17,000 to 45,000 animals PER YEAR are put down. Most are surrendered and are perfectly adoptable pets. If mayor Bloomberg reached into his infinite pockets and perhaps funded a better system and Julie Banks the executive director and her board are fired and actually passionate people were installed, NYC ACC could be model system of compassion that could be emulated and their structure and methods could be spread across the East Coast rust-belt and beyond. People, especially upper middle class and 1% NYC residents need to realize what’s going on around them. If NYC can be reformed, places elsewhere will follow suit because NYC is supposed to be a model of excellence, and in this issue it just isn’t. If any one person killed this many animals themselves they’d be seen as a murderer and a criminal.

I urge you to look at the albums and actual documented pictures of animals put to sleep here:

Cats  (Gone but Not Forgotten albums, generally 200 cats per album, and roughly two to three albums per month)

Dogs

Stop ignoring the problem and start doing something people of NYC.

I’m from Maryland, I shouldn’t have to champion your ish. Stop pretending to be Andy Warhol and friggin Holly Golightly and help get your city get in order and by doing so help make it easier to help enact change in even more stubborn and poorer cities here like in Baltimore, where animal control is also a problem but we have none of the resources and wealth NYC could tap into and utilize.

Also spay and neuter your pets. Sure puppies and kittens are cute but it means more animals that need homes. Spay and neuter. Do not buy, adopt. That means stay away from breeders and petstores. Often many purebred “designer dogs” come from puppy mills. And that’s a whole other issue…
