Trish: "So the Police is not with the city?" Donavan: "well, the city PAYS the police...." This is turning into a Monty Python episode.... unfortunately there are lives at stake - so I am not laughing.... What a farce.

Let's Adopt! : Pure breed? Pure Brainless..

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 18:52:02 +0000

I agree, spay/neuter ordinances should be far more spread, and breeders should pay high fines or taxes for contributing to the issue of pet overpopulation. If someone wants a pure breed animal, let them have it, but pay the price...a high price. It should be made a luxury item with according taxes. Viktor is right - their precious boy has a very high chance to end up at the pound some day, because as he grows older in the wrong hands, he will become more dominant and with that - aggressive. I think just today we've seen prime examples as to why Let's Adopt has adoption rules unlike many others. To sort out the people who just don't get "IT"...

Let's Adopt! : Letter to Lara Sayınsoy

This is very sad. The one suffering here is Bertha - once again! Lara, I hate to tell you, but you sound like the person who usually shops at pet stores. 'Ohhhh look how cute...lets get it'. Once problems arise, the animal is being dumped. It happens around the world, every day. When you adopted Bertha, you accepted a new member of your tribe. Would you have put your kid into a crate because he didn't know yet how to interact with Bertha? Crating is a great tool, but just stuffing a previously traumatized in a box and leave him there for hours, is not crate training. It's punishment. What was Bertha punished for? Being excited and loving your child? Are you THAT single minded that you couldn't come up with more creative solutions (like 'DUH' dog training for the whole family), than stuffing Bertha in a crate? PLEASE, if this is the only thing you hear of what Ivan said: DO NOT GET ANOTHER ANIMAL!!! Be a mother first as you said, and raise your child to respect animals. But don't get another animal and teach your child it's OK to stuff it in a box when it becomes an inconvenience. I'm sorry ...... for Bertha!! We'll work even harder now to find Bertha's home. The one she can finally settle down and have some peace.
