In my lousy opinion

 It's all in the news about a dog being rescued with extra limbs and a charity successfully raising about £15K to have them amputated so the dog can have a normal life and be adopted eventually.

In all honesty, I think it's such a misdirected effort. There's no shortage of dogs in need of homes. Shit, there's no shortage of humans who are in dire need of medical help and charitable assistance. 

I suppose it gets them headlines and it gets them more income, so it works for the charity to do this, but good grief people don't have their priorities straight.
