Suddenly all those animals are gone off pet harbor.<br /><br />Ed Boks screwed around with the Chameleon to make his numbers look better. Rancho Cucamonga sent in incorrect reports to the state for 2-3 years claiming they didn't understand how the Chameleon worked/clerical error.<br /><br />There's dirt in TLAC and it was brought in with a Yankee from New York.HonestyHelpshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17252566910168914828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4403195081687568815.post-75996728513412585902011-07-18T00:59:16.702-04:002011-07-18T00:59:16.702-04:00One of the No Kill Nation geniuses, Billy LeFeuvre...One of the No Kill Nation geniuses, Billy LeFeuvre, made comments to the effect that it didn't matter whether the adoptions didn't stick, it was getting the animals out of the shelter that was important. Winograd also jumps on anyone who suggests free or low cost adoptions are dodgy in any way. Well, hey, I guess they have to make sure that the shelter keeps the animals coming in - where else is Winograd going to get those consulting fees from and fill all those seats at his seminars?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4403195081687568815.post-16684623499949180222011-07-17T11:46:53.480-04:002011-07-17T11:46:53.480-04:00Why is Austin reminding me more and more of Philly...Why is Austin reminding me more and more of Philly/PACCA? Oh the glorious expounding upon all the adoptions, etc. when all the while cruelty abound in the shelter. Animals were given to known hoarders. BOGO sales galore (with a 30% returned rate too) and then suddenly the bubble popped. All Austin is doing is burning out fosters and rescues. It takes awhile but it's definitely on the way. Stay tuned.HonestyHelpshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17252566910168914828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4403195081687568815.post-49419038358704256952011-07-17T11:38:51.094-04:002011-07-17T11:38:51.094-04:00Yes, Anon it is a running total AND I also said it...Yes, Anon it is a running total AND I also said it can be read another way, as the total number of cats each week. There's no explanation to accompany this report as to which it is.<br /><br />Oh yes, let's treat cats like a shoe sale, $5, get all you can get for a bargain basement price. Do you think that people who look for a "bargain" on cats, that those cats will ever see the inside of a vet's office? Why do you think we have such problems now with our pets, because they have been de-valued over the years.<br /><br />Animals had value up until about a hundred years ago. We relied upon them to survive. They guarded our flocks, helped us hunt for food, and the list goes on. Now we don't see them in this light. We are now a disposable society and free/cheap means whatever it is is disposable. These "sales" make them disposable. So what, we can always get another one. They call "pocket" pets disposable pets, why? Because it is cheaper to let them die and get another than pay a vet. That's is what these $5 adoptions accomplish. Don't kid yourself into thinking happily ever after, that makes you part of the problem.HonestyHelpshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17252566910168914828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4403195081687568815.post-69652923653337387112011-07-17T11:12:28.407-04:002011-07-17T11:12:28.407-04:00Where are you getting the 3,789 cats going into fo...Where are you getting the 3,789 cats going into foster care from? I assumed that the 'Cats in foster care' row indicated the running total of cats in foster homes, not the number of cats entering foster homes.<br /><br />I agree that the leap in adoptions at the end of June does look suspicious, but according to the Austin website, there was a big cat adoption event at the end of June, with $5 adoption fees. That could explain it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4403195081687568815.post-21191658805472882582011-07-16T14:35:49.305-04:002011-07-16T14:35:49.305-04:00Discouraging owners is the mainstay of No Kill. It...Discouraging owners is the mainstay of No Kill. It shows clearly that they don't care about the animals, they don't care if the pets are abandoned. In this day and time of a poor economy, people losing their jobs and homes, it is more important than ever to take owner surrenders. Taking the pets in shows that you care. <br /><br />All this will do is fill the streets in Austin with animals.NoKillSucksnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4403195081687568815.post-59913692593619623252011-07-16T14:09:54.571-04:002011-07-16T14:09:54.571-04:00Doing away with a drop box means that fewer owners...Doing away with a drop box means that fewer owners will come in because they don't want to be insulted with dirty looks and lectures. That means more animals on the streets, abandoned, starving.<br /><br />If you care about animals you don't turn them away. Being euthanized in a shelter is much better than lying in a gutter after being hit by a car or starving to death.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
