By Neal Broverman
ADOPTION ABSURDITY X390 | ADVOCATE.COM
The upper house of the Swiss parliament on Thursday narrowly approved
legalizing adoptions by gay couples.
The Council of States voted 21-19 on the legislation, which would allow gay
couples in registered partnerships to adopt. Politicians supporting the new
law say it reflects the reality of Swiss families in 2012.
The lower house must now consider the legislation. |

shelter说实话,也不怎么样。
比如一些no-kill的shelter基本上就是谎言。
他们确实是no kill,但是他们只进那些看起来很容易被adopt的狗,对于adopt 不出
去的狗,其实最终还是交换到kill shelter去了。
典型的例子就是: 芝加哥paws在lincon park的adoption中心,有钱的要死,里面的狗
都是吃的是orijen的狗粮,睡的是kuranda的狗床,像酒店一样,让我大开眼界。 他们
adopt不出去的时候,就送到芝加哥边缘的kill shelter(我碰巧也去过那里的shelter
,碰见他们送过去的狗)去了。 有意思的是,lincon park这里光志愿者就是3000多
人,天天围着几十只狗(流动的)献爱心。而kill shelter那里,为了挤更多的狗,到
处都是狗笼,污秽不堪,donation也很少,所谓有爱心的志愿者很少去。最要不得的是
nokill shelter那里还要诋毁kill shelter,结果捐赠都进了他们这边。
