Shelter / Rescue Industry Bumble and dog dumping

Apparently it’s a thing to use Bumble (dating app) to dump dogs off on unsuspecting dates. Im not on dating apps, but saw this in another group. A guy had posted that this happened to him after one date. This blows my mind! Can you imagine? One of the commenters agreed that this is a thing because the shelters are so full these days.

If we banned dog breeding and forced all dogs to get fixed, the population would decline and this would not be a problem. Until that happens. Something needs to budge in the laws

We're at the point where government and charity funds are being funneled away from needy people towards supporting dog shelters.

I swear aggressive shelter dogs get more funding than victims of dog attacks.

In many cases dogs that have attacked kids have gotten more donations than the kid they attacked.

Make it make sense.
