That is disgusting and I'm really starting to reassess my lifelong support of the Humane Society. How dare they decide that an animal is better off dead than a pet just because they don't think that type of animal is pet material. Since when was pet defined as only a dog or a cat???? If the creature is not illegal to own then they shouldn't have a right to deny ownership and euthanize a huge group of herps like that!

My oldest son is very allergic. We can't continue to have cats for his sake. Our landlord prefers we don't have a dog. For us our snake is a wonderful pet and fits our lifestyle perfectly as do our 3 pet rats.

I've had a couple of experiences with our local Humane Society that are causing me to wonder what their agenda is. I can tell you that the volunteer hours I was planning to do this summer will be done somewhere else and I think I'm going to stop promoting them as the agency to turn to. I recently posted on a thread about a bad pet store to call the Humane Society. Having read this (and Adam's comments as well) I wish I'd never suggested it!

Darn that just makes me so mad!
