WW 2 Did you know

[Hedgehog]

Did you know that in the first 18 months of the WW 2 750,000 family pets were put down because of the fear of the bombing and possible gas raid's....gott'a say I never new that, how many of you Guy's new about this ?
That's in the UK only

Probably food rationing was an issue as well.

Why would that cause mass euthanasia? Don't get it. :noidea:

 

[Bootie]

A lot of people kept pigs and chickens as pets. Munch munch munch.

hang on let me get this straight, they killed their pets in-case, well in-case they get killed ?

Knowing people the way they are with there animals they couldn't bear the thought of them suffering, Pet's are not my strong part, so the humane way must in there thinking be the right way to go......Like you say a mystery why ?
Can understand food animal's, in my house at the time chickens were kept for egg's and finished up in the pot....times were hard in those day's
