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

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.

So they would rather kill the animals than adopt them?

Idiots.

Possibly by running your name through the FEC database...?

I’m guessing that’s how I’ve been nailed by someone with a mad-on for Trump donors.

#5 Animal shelters kill animals all the time by lethal injection or gas.

We who want to protect ourselves want to be able to kill human animals by using a gun as Gov Newsom lied on a campaign promise and then dismantled the gas chamber for human animals. Other democrats support human animals so it is up to the people to defend ourselves.

Not a huge NRA fan. What if I support Ducks Unlimited, and want to adopt a gundog?
