Dogs, Awkward and Work: Traumatic

Traumatic

Today, I started my community service at the dog pound. I like animals so I thought it would be a good place to do it. As I arrived they were throwing dogs that had been euthanized into a dump truck to be taken to a landfill. That was my job for the day. FML

Today, I started my first day of work at our local humane society. I asked where the break room was, so my coworker directed me to a small room in the back of the building. The only place I get to take my lunch break is the same room where they euthanize, freeze, and cremate the animals. FML

Today, I started my dream job of being a veterinarian. My first day consisted of having to put down 12 dogs and 5 cats. FML

Today, it was my first day as an animal control officer. My first dispatch was to collect a dog that had been hit by a car. I had to clean up my dead dog on my first day of a job that barely pays rent. FML

Today, it has been my lifelong dream to work with animals. My dream sorta came true. I now work at the slaughterhouse. FML

Today, at my minimum wage job, we received a half-way decomposed dog found in a lake. It was my job to tear open the bag and try to identify the breed and color. It would've been easier if the body wasn't crawling with maggots. FML

Doggy dog world

Today, I work at a doggy day care. Employees are not allowed to leave the dogs unsupervised for any reason. So while I was alone in a yard, my stomach decided that it would be the perfect time to empty itself. Because I didn’t want to lose my job, I puked in front of everyone. FML

Today, I went to my father's house to get my dog, since I had left it with him while I was on a business trip. When I got there, my dad said the dog pooped on the floor a few days ago, and so he took him to the pound. FML

Today, I was fired from my local animal shelter. I was a volunteer and am currently in school for veterinary technology. My education made the paid staff at the shelter feel threatened. FML

Today, I was on a job trial at the local pet shop and, naturally, was doing all the disgusting jobs. As I was cleaning the kittens' litter in the cat enclosure, someone thought it would be funny to lock me in there. I sat in a giant cage in the middle of the store with people laughing at me. FML

I actually regularly go down to the animal shelter and get dogs that have little time left. I then go out and give them out to people. those who aren't sold in a few days I keep. I've got like 9 dogs now

Not all shelters can afford to cremate, so the landfill is the only option.

That's horrible! If I were you I'd go find a no-kill shelter to volunteer at...

I sincerely hope every single person on this thread who is saying "how horrible" is actually going out to do something about it - like being a responsible pet owner, or adopting an animal from a shelter (and THEN being a responsible pet owner).

How is disposing of animal corpses cruel? You have no idea if they were euthanized for health reasons or otherwise. What do you think they're supposed to do with them, just let them lie around rotting?

What's cruel is buying the cute little puppies in the pet store window, who came from puppymills, then not getting it fixed and letting it breed. Shelter employees and volunteers love animals more than anyone, and would love nothing more than to see a day when their job isn't necessary.
