Animal shelter to NRA and gun restriction foes: No pets for you
NBC News ^ | 6/9/2022 | Corky Siemaszko

Posted on 06/09/2022 1:24:27 PM PDT by God luvs America

If you want to adopt a dog or cat from this Southern California animal shelter, you have to be 25, prove you can provide a pet with a good home — and support gun restrictions.

Membership in the NRA is a deal breaker, said Shelter Hope Pet Shop owner Kim Sill.

“We do not support those who believe that the 2nd amendment gives them the right to buy assault weapons,” Sill wrote on a website for the shelter in Thousand Oaks, California, about 40 miles northwest of Los Angeles. “If your beliefs are not in line with ours, we will not adopt a pet to you.”

Sill added, “If you lie about being a NRA supporter, make no mistake, we will sue you for fraud.”

Sill, in an interview with NBC News, said quite a few donors to her shelter are Republicans and some have threatened to cut off funds if she doesn’t remove the “Where do you stand on gun control?” question that she now requires every potential adoptee to answer during a screening interview.

Watch very carefully what they’re doing. They are working very hard to demonize entire categories of individuals. That makes their extermination much easier.

These people are way out of their lane.

Go to a different animal rescue outfit.

I’ll bet $5 they’d have no problem with a late-term abortionist who wanted to adopt a pet.

Okay, go ahead and euthanize the animals that won’t be adopted.

This level of stupid is interesting. I have to wonder if it’s even a real business or if it’s getting funded by someone. Most legit places have bigger things to worry about than chasing down people who “lied” about the NRA. Please.

Their virtue signalling is more important to them than animal welfare.

Tells me a lot, and I wouldn’t adopt from them anyway.

So what’s next? No food, no gas, no electricity or heating fuels for winter, no water etc.... the pet crap is only the beginning. When the credit card establishments, banks, hospitals refuse to give you services you’ll know we are done! IT WILL HAPPEN the only ones who can receive the necessities will be the evil rats and those who spinelessly disarmed! We are in a world of serious hurt!

"The animals will suffer most from their woke idiocy."

Just what an animal shelter needs: Less people adopting animals.🙄
