The Humane Society I am assciated with does not charge for any animal brought in. We ask would you like to make a donation and if they say no we drop it. I tell you there is no limit to the cruelty of man/woman especially against animals. A woman called the shelter and wanted to surrender a Persian cat but the cat was 20 miles away and she couldn't get it to the shelter. I went to pick up the cat and found that it was in a small carrier at least 23 hours a day (she had a pug and was afraid the cat would scratch it-then why did she get the cat?) That poor cat was one huge mat, eat up with fleas, hungry, terrified, had an upper respiratory infection and had an eye infection. I wanted to hurt that woman but she didn't think she was doing anything wrong. I took the cat home with me and to the vet the next day and of course 5 years later and she is still with me.
We went on a puppy mill raid and found 350 dogs,all small breeds. One little dog had three legs but when the vet examined her he found that she had a fourth leg but it was glued to her body by poop and matted fur. Two other dogs were stuck together and couldn't get apart because they were also stuck together with poop and matting. Thank God we shut that place down but there are hundreds more. It really makes you look at people differently.
