Indiscriminate use of the "homeless" term has finally gone too far:
After the recent Casey County dog hording bust, I was inspired to write this column in order to help people understand how they can help homeless animals in our community.
Didn't we use to call them "strays"? Should we really be making exuses for their own poor decisions and life skills by calling them "homeless"?
Just kidding. The stories' points -- puppy mills are bad, rescuing animals is good -- are all valid. And even if you don't have the means right now to adopt a pet from a shelter, the critters there could benefit from a visit now and then. Who knows, walking a dog might help you, too.
