I think it is enough for me, a solid conservative hand-up not out type of person, to say that these people actually need the assistance

I was trying to establish you standards. I assue you people have vastly different standards.

But as to what happened to cause the need or whether she had animals, I wouldn’t dream of dragging her reasons for the need out, whether I named names or not.

Your unwillingness to answer is answer all by itself. So I'm assuming "genuine" in this context means "needed to maintain lifestyle," not "starve without it." And I'm also assuming that she did have pets.

You said that, not me. I said I wouldn’t discuss it. Perhaps I should suggest that if you ever have a desperate situation develop overnight in your life you should immediately place your children into adoption and either shoot or dump your pets on someone else.

As Mother always said, “to assume makes an ASS-out of U and ME both.”
