Oh I understand, but honestly, when these people who are supposedly trying to save animals from the needle make it harder (and require as about as much info) to adopt an animal than as a baby, there’s something that tells me there will be a needle in many dog/cat’s futures.
I agree completely that just handing over a pet to anyone isn’t too smart for the rescues, but they really need perspective. I do not think a credit history and contractually obligated home inspections are anything but ridiculous. And handing over credit info to someone of the animal rights variety is dangerous for the adopter at best.
That couple sounds like identity thieves at best. People who are suspicious and paranoid are always untrustworthy themselves. They should be investigated and prosecuted if anything is not on the up and up.
Hubby and I are getting on, and we probably can’t promise a kitten or puppy forever, so our four cats will probably be our last pets. There are two local shelters, Humane Society of [our county] and Alchemy Acres. We visit them and donate food and cash, and we know their procedures. They are no kill, but they would never let a hopelessly ill or injured animal suffer. Neither of them is affiliated in any way with the HSUS or any other leftist “animal rights” group.
BTW, animals have no rights. We have been directed by God to perform good animal husbandry. There are no rights for animals; there are only responsibilities with regard to their welfare for us. It’s a simple as that.
PETA, HSUS, and others are an abomination on the earth. I hope what is happening to HSUS happens to every dang one of them that tortures and kills animals and puts donations into their own pockets and into the coffers of communist causes.
