Europe's Doggy Style

For Europeans, it's not uncommon to take a whole month of vacation in the summer. But the season can be a deadly time for the many pets left behind — permanently. The abandonment of domestic animals by vacationers is a scourge in many countries across Europe. And in France, this summer isn't likely to be different despite campaigns by animal-rights groups against the practice.

-In France, The (Abandoned) Dog Days Of Summer

Haven't they ever heard of pet hotels? Or do they not have such things in Europe? I thought Europe was so much more advanced than America? They do get longer vacations and more leisure time than over-worked U.S. wage slaves, but maybe all that extra free time has just made them lazy. Who just abandons their dog because they're going on vacation? I guess there is no European animal-welfare state. How backward!
