not so good either. death by kitty overdose! an old lady's end!
Most likely, the person at the shelter was following personal judgement rather than policy, anyway.
Arent there peeps living over 100? She could still outlive the cat
just silly...
Id bring suit myself, well, no actually like I said, I would have told her what for right then and there, and not only would I have gone home with the cat, well...you get my point
or else maybe a different shelter?
littlek i understand what you are saying about just going to another shelter but at the same time this kind of idiocy should be confronted. reminds me of last year in Torremolimos when the couple from PETA gave me a rant about milking cows being abusive then going that afternoon to a bull fight.
I meant after giving the dumb 60 year old a ranting at.
I am interested in checking this out. Any way to follow up? I feel really bad for that woman. Assuming I had the story straight that she wanted a kitten. Well, she can alway get a kitten as there are many here and there, but will she look for one, she might feel real turned down now.
Someone needs to give this woman a kitten. In my humble opinion.
Any local reaction to this?
This has to be on the top of my list of the most stupid thing I've ever heard. Needless to say, this gal wouldn't have taken that for a second. I would have asked them to use their phone to make a local call to my lawyer and walked out the door not long after with my little kitty ;-) I feel so bad for that lady and anyone who isn't strong enough to put their foot down in these situations. You really need to have a good layer of thick skin in this world to protect yourself from the "cold" ;-)
i'd guess, since the whole thing was publicized by her son, that somebody is already standing up for her. hopefully she is surrounded by kitties by now. but there is so many nice old ladies like her out there that do get harassed. not all have the energy to fight back, especially if they already feel old, lonely, vulnerable or whatnot and somebody rubs it in.
I know it Dag. It breaks my heart :-(
