I'm not a pet owner myself and therefore inexperienced in this but according to this website, they definitely exist. vocalforpets . org/ why-kill-shelters-exist/ (remove the spaces obv)
TL;DR it's a shelter that accepts all animals regardless of species/age/behavior/health and you can put an animal there with no previous appointment, but has the oldest/longest staying animals euthanized once it's full or once they become sick with a disease that could spread to the rest of the shelter, since it's cheaper than getting the disease treated. Kill shelters are very unfortunate but they exist mainly for stray/abandoned animals or animals with behavior problems etc.
So yeah the ex-owner's a cunt.

@famousone Not at all, I'm really just making fun of how dumb that argument is.
@garlog I get how you got the impression but my point wasn't to do whataboutism, just to mirror the argument that "feminists should go to developing countries to fight for women's rights there". The only thing either group would achieve is getting arrested or killed, so it makes as much sense for feminists to advocate for women's rights e.g. in the Middle East as it does for conservatives to advocate for freedom of speech in North Korea. As in, it makes no sense at all. And trying to portray feminists as hypocritical for not actively going to places where they would encounter potentially life threatening hostility feels like a really dishonest argument to me. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of legitimate things to criticize modern feminism for. This just ain't one of them.

Totally. Unlike modern conservatives who make regular visits to North Korea to give Kim a stern talking to about the value of freedom of speech and democracy, y'know instead of complaining about a .00002% tax increase, or for that matter, that a movie changed the gender/sexuality of a character. Which they never complain about because they have their vision set to the bigger picture. Uh huh.

Ugh, this is incredibly relatable. I get migraines every once in a while and a nap is the only thing that helps at all. Or rather, it is more pleasant to sleep through it since it goes away eventually. But it is so hard to fall asleep when your head is throbbing.

I mean, the whole MGTOW movement is a thing, and they say comparable things. Not to mention incels who say even worse shit.

Well said.
I don't really know where the author of that Tweet got the idea that "all the people are saying it's fine". I don't think anyone thinks it's "fine" that someone dies, but it is a reality we have to accept.
