Do you have the money and space to house all the animals that are so severely injured in car accidents that they would need to be kept sedated 24 hours a day to relieve their pain? We have cats that have such bad injuries from car accidents and have lost so much blood that they are barely conscious. What would you do? Leave it there to die slowly over the next few hours? Or give it one injection to stop it's suffering?
Or as Snowyowl and Fairy both said - aggressive dogs whose only life will be sitting in a 2m x 1m cage with no human interaction for the next 10 years? Most dogs in that situation would start to hurt themselves - some have even been known to chew off their tails.
Do a search on the fire - there were dozens of newspaper articles, magazine articles, threads on QL, we had a whole QAWS website dedicated to the fire for several months.... The fire was due to an electrical fault in a fuse box. Within 15 minutes of the fire starting, over 100 animals had been safely evacuated and the fire services were there. We had literally hundreds of people come down over the afternoon to help move the animals, catch any cats that were running around the farm and basically do anything they could to help. The new dog shelter is being built from concrete but you can never guarentee something won't happen again. Just a few months after our fire, a rescue shelter in Kuwait burnt down and they had a brick built facility.
