No Room At The Inn

Apparently today I have a lot on my mind. Everyone is full. There's no place to go. Every animal shelter, rescue, etc. is at full capacity. The Sioux Falls Humane Society posted the following:

We are at capacity at the Sioux Falls Area Humane Society.
WE HAVE TAKEN IN OVER 200 ANIMALS IN 7 DAYS!!!!

Where are all these animals coming from? Why are they coming out of the woodwork now? Who says the recession is improving? If you look at the animal shelters and look into the eyes of all those standing there, you'd doubt the economy was any better.

I actually had an entire post written about this particular issue but I lost it somehow. Now my energy is lost. This topic simply drains my energy. I want to help but I don't know how. I'm pinching pennies for the horses here and to make sure I can maybe bring another one in this fall.

How do I help? How do I educate people? How do I educate those that don't want to face this reality. How do I open up their eyes to the cruel reality of the "unwanted"?

There HAS to be a way. What's going to happen to those that are "unwanted" even by the rescues/shelters? It's all about being at the right place at the right time. I wish some of them would get a break.

Sorry, I'm finally at a loss for words.
