Some were shameless, and I get my hackles up whenever I think about it.
Though, a few wonderful trainers for T.V./movies made a huge difference in how animals were treated, and handled when they got older. In fact, they were part of why things changed, and rules/laws were put into place.
For example, the man who trained the dog Tramp, and many others. He was a wonderful man who trained many of the animals on television back in the day. He worked for/with Lassie's owner/trainer at first, then got his own place.
He not only trained animals, but when other animals were no longer wanted, he took them in. He saved a lot of them. He didn't believe in abuse of any animals, nor of animals being disposable.
What a pet adventure you've had. It's wonderful that so many were taken in. Some came to a bad end, but you tried. Been there. You did your best, and they found a great home with you.
