Wow, I'm amazed that anyone would think that someone that chooses to have a pet, then leaves that domesticated animal tied to an abandoned house with no food to starve a slow and painful death is more humanitarian than the one that calls a shelter wherein the animal would be fed and housed with a 50/50 chance of a new owner.
Most homes that are foreclosed by banks go for months without one mortgage payment being made, and your telling me that during those months of zero mortgage and free rent that family could not save enough for a $100 pet deposit for a rental? Also many of the foreclosing homes are spec homes, purchased with no down in the hopes of flipping them. I have no idea why they don't post those stats. Oh, I know why, because then we wouldn't be able to blame the 'gov' which is so much easier than taking personal responsibility.
There is no excuse for animal cruelty, and that's what this is. |
