From Eve Beili, Tsar Ba'alei Haim, Jerusalem:
I am amazed every day how a country of seemingly educated, "modern" citizens can behave this way. I will not accept any excuse. It is unforgivable to leave an animal stranded and helpless. Happily I have gotten a number of calls from people who came with their pets, looking for help. But I have heard so many horror stories, I just don't get it - how do you get in your car with your kids and leave the dog standing on the sidewalk???????
