When will shelters & rescue groups realize they are part of the problem? Nosy applications and long waits!!
While I realize most small rescue groups do good work, my experience
with these groups and with shelters is that their rules for adoption are indicative of people who are at their core distrustful towards their fellow humans. There is something evil about having to sit down and fill out an application for an animal which is so nosy. Many people object to this repressive arrogance of these shelters and then they turn to pet shops. So, you see, by not allowing people to adopt you turn them into liars, or you turn them to pet shops. But they WILL get a pet, and so what purpose have these stupid, evil, long-winded, nosy applications do? They have done more evil than good. I find the rescue group people a lot more sincere than the shelter people, but all too often their applications look like child-adoption papers also! The very groups that rage against puppy and kitten mills actually support them by driving customers to the shops. Its incredibly sad to go to these shelters and see cage after cage filled with animals who could have a home if not for the stupid application forms. The saddest thing I ever saw was a man who was turned down because he didn't have a vet for the animal he already had. For shame! The animal he wanted was better off with this gentleman than stuck in a cage and never adopted! But the rich biddies who run the shelter didn't think so--and so to me, they are the evil, they are animal abusers, people who would deny a pet a home! Remember, poor people are just as deserving of pets as anyone else. I've become so disgusted that although I've adopted from shelters before, I will never do so again. I've got nothing to hide, but I object to being made to feel like a child. The people at these shelters have such contempt for most of us mere mortals, and frankly I'd rather not play their game anymore. |
