All a matter or philosphy. I wish there were none in shelters here at all. I would not have to rescue any.
I understand how you feel about the mills, but I also think that bailing them out is enabling. Simply my opinion and many disagree. I also am not speaking for a rescue. This is only *my* opinion.
I know how bad the mills are...I choose not to go there because even if I take a few there are thousands more and I simply could not go there and leave any behind. Have I taken any mill kids in? Yes, after they have been seized.
Hopefully, one day they will be shut down and that will be it!
