I'd agree with you 100%, IF, no one ever cheated on their taxes.
I stand by my last comment as being 100% fact!
"I applaud the work of the legitimate rescues, but, only they would truly know their numbers."
A good waitress is still a good waitress even if she doesn't report every dime of her tips. So, I wouldn't condemn a rescue for a little fudge on the paper work now and then. It's just those real greedy bastards that have made it into a paying hobby that have people so irked. They would be the illegitimate ones.
I'll add, any rescue or shelter that gets an otherwise unwanted dog into a loving and caring home is ok in my book. Keep up the good work LJ.
