That is horrible, but not surprising. We have a high stray pop, year-round mating season, and we put down about 70K a year (officially)... as horrible as that is, at least they are being taken off the street and not abused in such a manner. They are given a humane death. Recently, though, they opened a transport shelter so they could start to send them up north... where there is a shortage there.
My uncle helped supervise at the SPCA and he said there were times he put down 60/day. It made him leave that field altogether.
I only have my two, and I wish I could fit more, but there are so many that need loving homes... I do what I can by donating items/$$, but it will never feel like enough. On the up side, we have a large rescue community.
