What we don't want to hear any more about though is excuses for the SPCA's killing. The "whistling" employee wasn't trying to tune out the gruesomeness of the killing that the SPCA CHOOSES to do, no more than was the employee who exited the killing room rubbing his hands and uttering the words "No fuss, no muss". As long as the SPCA CHOOSES to keep its millions of dollars worth of pound contracts, and as long as the SPCA CHOOSES to keep its unlimited intake policy, it has made the choice to kill. It has made the choice to be society's paid pet disposer. And the employees who take a paycheque to keep on killing obviously can't mind it that much, or they would have quit long ago. I don't know about you, but I'd sling beer - half-dressed - in a filthy tavern before I'd take a paycheque to kill animals. Hell, I'd even clean the tavern toilets for money before I'd accept a job that would require me to lead any innocent creature down the long hallway to its unnecessary death.
