We have a no kill shelter here in Lincoln County and the "animal control" officers are finally getting the message that shooting them or sticking their noses in the exhaust of a car is not the answer. They bring them to PALS. Problem is, PALS is strictly volunteer and contributions only. They get no help from anywhere so they do not have enough room for all that come in. Many people who are loosing their jobs and homes cannot afford to feed or care for them, have to move into rented house that does not allow animals (they do allow children who can in many cases be more destructive than animals), so they bring them to PALS. We are having a drive for money for food, blankets, meds and toys. They are very careful about who gets their animals, you have to go there and be interviewed before you can adopt. They want to be sure you will care for them and can afford a pet. What really bugs me is those who give away kittens and puppies at Walmart, etc. They don't know who is taking them and why, just want to get rid of them and go home. Some people will love them, but many just give in to the kids and then when no one wants to take care of them, they dump them.Like Easter chicks and bunnies. ---- ter...@tazzys.org wrote: > _______________________________________________ > Felvtalk mailing list > Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org > http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
