Thank you Ellen! After a day filled with people wanting AAS to take responsibility for an animal that their selfishness has made physically ill or mentally ruined, it may actually be time to just send this out instead of spending hours trying to get help for people who just want the damned animal gone.

One thing most of them have in common is that they never tell you the name of their "beloved" pet. You have to drag it out of them. I think this is because to call it by its name is too personal and by the time they phone a rescue group they don't want advice, they just want you to take the animal they have ruined so that they don't have to take it to "the pound" or "the SPCA" or "put it down". They want us to take away all guilt and expense!
