Why, though?

I’m pretty cynical, but this is a new level.

Greedy breeders already “produce” more dogs than there are loving families for and as a result dog shelters are constantly full with sad dogs who don´t have a home. This drug will result in shelters getting even more overcrowded.

My dog lives longer and shelters get more crowded? That’s a complete non-sequitor. Much like my choice of lunch doesn’t impact your lunch situation.

Perhaps my reading comprehension is poor, but the article seems to indicate that the pill will give a dog more “active years” and not necessarily more years. I guess we’ll find out in four years when it’s done.
