He mentioned on the post that Charlie would have to go through a full vet check including parasite and disease tests before he could come to the states.

It is quite chilling to hear that protocol dictates our military to put down domestic animals on site. I'm sure its just me imagining the worst.. but all I can see is someone saying "look! A kitten! Go shoot it before it kills us! "....

I do understand the reasoning. It doesn't make it any easier to swallow, but I understand.

I, for one, hope he raises the money needed, and hope that Charlie passes his health check with flying colors.
