What Grinds Your Gears??

[dr del]

I have very mixed feelings about PETA...while I agree with some of the issues they raise, they go way too far; I've read about (but not personally
verified) instances where they have "rescued" animals, but then failed to care for them any better...even to the point of letting them die. They also
don't seem to think anyone should have ANY kind of pets...

Now about forgetting what you were intending to do, I do that a lot...my house is full of distractions, but anyway, just wait until you get older!

"Rescue" animals are def a grinding gear subject. It seems so often that rescue means free to a lot of people and when you are broke and "rescue" an animal and have to start a gofundme to pay for the medical care it needs, I hardly call that rescuing. I got crucified on Facebook a while back when someone posted a picture of a boa she rescued. It was in her bathtub crawling on one of those racks you keep your shower stuff on. The snake was crawling on soap, shampoo bottles, sponges, there was a freaking razor there as well. I pointed out that maybe this wasn't the safest place for a snake she said was practically dead a week before. I was very surprised when some well known boa people on FB came to her rescue. Pretty sad...

They lost me when it turned out they were "rescuing" animals from people in tough places then flat out killing them in the van and dumping them in dumpsters on the way back to their "shelter"

Have a good look at the amount they "rescue" - the number they "rehome" and try and guess which freezer or dumpster the overwhelming difference ended up in. Check out the prosecutions if you do not believe me.
