THE LEAST OF US MAY BE THE BEST OF US

OK I'm fed up right now.  I just don't want to take it any more. T-Rex 2That is how I feel.  I know I'm not alone but let's step up and try to do something.  What?  I don't know yet but something.   Where are people's minds?  I know when they bought that cute little kitten or puppy they must have loved it.   Kitty 2  Puppy They were cute and cuddle.  They fed it, played with it, hopefully took it to the vets on a regular basis.  And yet, when they are facing eviction, foreclosure or what ever, they never give a thought to what they are going to do with the pet that loves them so very unconditionally. It's not like one day your life is going well and the next you are out on the street. You have been given notice.  Even if it is only 30 days. And yet it seems the last thing you give thought to is your pet.  I know right now a lot of shelters are full, rescue groups are brimming over, but where there is a will there is a way.  Why in the world would you go off and just let your pet be locked up in your house where there is no food, water, the heating or air conditioner isn't working due to the electricity being cut off  and not a person around? What in the world were you thinking?  That it is better to leave that animal locked up without anyone to care for it, than to take it to someone that would?  Is your mind set that if you can't have it no one else can? 

I don't know where your mind is but I do know one thing. You are not a good person at all.  There is a very old saying, "A society is measured by how it treats it's old people, children and animals.  Well you just flunked out of the human race. 

It is so totally unfair that the person that the person who must go in and inspect your home after you vacate is faced by tiring to salvage what you have caused.  How many starving animals have Realtors found?  How many scared and lonely pets have they had to rescue?  I am shocked that you didn't leave your children behind also.  I don't want to hear any more that you couldn't find a place to rent that would take animals.  That is such a flimsy excuse. 

Animals (pets) love us when no one else will. They don't care how we look or sound.  They don't care what your religion is or isn't. They don't care about your politics or what your profession is.  All they care about is giving you love and in return all they ask for is a little food and care.

 Let me end this rant with this. SHELTER! RESCUE GROUP! GIVE AWAY! Cowgirl

WOW! Roberta I have not heard of this happening in my area. This is just terrible. I can't even imagine how heartless a person would have to be to do something like this

Hi Bryant,

Good to talk to you again. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. 

Yes, I see this on TV all of the time here in CA and I just sit and cry.  My Realtor friends tell  me about this abuse and I just don't understand it.  I have always had pets, they are family.  I adore my children, and then my pets.  Just can't imagine. 

 I am writing an article for a website about dogs and have done some investigative reporting by speaking to the directors of animal shelters around the US and they are inundated by animals that have been left behind. 

Thanks again for commenting. I hope you have a great weekend.
