Absolutely agree with Bogertophis. Also, this situation would never have happened if shelters, sanctuaries, and rescues were given a bit more support.
Donations to shelters are way, way down in the last couple of years and they are really struggling. It'll get tougher with the holidays, as people tend to surrender their animals due to holiday expenses, and many 'gifted' animals end up surrendered.
This is a good reminder that, if you can, please donate to your favorite non-profit shelter or rescue. For me, that's the sanctuary run by Lori Torrini and her husband, and a rescue group for unwanted giant snakes. But you may have local or other rescue organizations you'd like to support. No matter which one it is, these groups need help; the situation is very rough at the moment for most of them.
