Cannot believe that frigging people STILL feel this away towards animals. I replied to an on-line message board in a group that I belong to and this is what the idiot had to say. It is enough to blow my top.
If everyone thought/felt this way there would be no hope for ANY animals, much less for the poor FeLV positive kitties! There are just some humans that I hate! They give good, honest, caring pet guardians a bad name. It people with this disgusting type of attitude that makes me wish that I could save them all...including the FeLVs. --- on Mon, 22 Jun 2009, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: To: [email protected] Subject: Quick Question They are ANIMALS, not humans.

I was aware of the research lab buying "free" animals, but I absolutely had no idea that there was a lab in Mt. Vernon! That is too damn close for my liking! And about feeding pet snakes? Nothing makes me madder than hell to hear about some poor, broke-ass idiot feeding their snake baby kittens! This is why I absolutely will NEVER be a reptile guardian. People, PLEASE be responsible and SCREEN potential applicants who are interested your "FREE" pet ad! You are playing Russian roulette with these poor innocent lives. How would you feel is someone "freed" you off to a serial killer? And in some cases, that is EXACTLY what you are doing, handing over animals to be slaughtered, either via a lab or via a menu. I absolutely hate FREE classified pet ads. They always attract the irresponsible pet owners, pet abusers and those looking to make a quick buck off the lives of the innocent. --- On Mon, 6/22/09, LJW <[email protected]> wrote: Please be careful - to whomever asks for the cat or dog, tell them (1) they can bring it back if there is a problem when they get it home and (2) you will be checking on it later. There have been people give pets away on freecycle (when they got away with it) and then later posted that they didn't even get the person's name or address! There are people who take them to sell to the lab around Mt Vernon, and there are people who get the small ones (kittens, gerbils and tiny puppies) to use as feed for their snakes. ( A previous neighbor used to get snake food that way.) _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list [email protected] http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
