How could you possibly know this? Maybe these are people who lost their jobs overseas, lost their houses and cannot keep their animals in shelters? Maybe they were living in cars and trying to feed the children?
Most pet owners I know would do anything they could to keep their furry family members. Leaving these pets in kennels must have be heartbreaking to these people. But they are at least making sure they get to a shelter where they are housed and fed regularly.

There are also lots of people who are leaving their foreclosed homes with their pets inside. Or just letting them loose in the streets or on the side of the highways. I prefer they leave them in shelters to those options. At least a shelter keeps them safe and feeds them as long as they can while they try find a new home.
BTW - not all shelter kill pets. There are lots of no-kill shelters out there.

We domesticate animals and they reveal all that is good in the world and then we discard them like a paper wrapping off a fast food item. Just throw them away, kill them. This reveals the true nature of humans and why we are doomed to extinction.

They need to start killing those animals that have no owners... if people dont agree with that, then those people need to take them home

Obviously, if someone has to choose between food for their human family member or pets, people come first. However, if you can adopt a pet and keep it from being put down, please do so now. Seriously, pets are fun, playful, and they can even lengthen your life. Show how big our hearts are, America!

Hey folks - Please stop buying from the mall pet stores. There are wonderful pets just waiting for you in the shelters! If you can't take one in, please donate money or TIME! They always need help walking dogs and feeding cats. Thanks.

everyone, go to shelters if you want a pet and get the really nice pets because people are turning them back over to shelters.
