BG Animal Lovers: Humane Society can't treat cat, can afford publicist

[Yuri-G]

spot on. the humane society euthanizes thousands of animals a day, I'm sure. no one complains because it's part of the way things work, unfortunately. it's the way this happened (and let's be honest, the "addict with a kitten" aspect) that's getting people to pay attention.

glad they're accepting credit card payments over the phone now. at least something good came of this!

If i worked at a humane society and a guy that looked like an addict with no money brought me in a cat with a cut down to the muscle, i might put it down without consulting him as i see no future for this cat with the owner, as it would be costly and illegal for me to fix it up and adopt it to a better family. That's really the only train of thought i can find for them doing what they did.

Lol, I looked like shit when I took my greyhound into the vet. Forgive me for not dressing nicely for the trip, didn't have the money for the full vet bill either. Glad to know you would have killed my dog.

you actually reminded me of something. Does the humane society not participate in CareCredit?

I think this news report is just proving, don't take your pet to the humane society to be treated. Go to a vet.

shit is fucked up

[Headspace]

you didn't have money?

No he had to sell FFX-2 to pay for it

[Tyche]

It was a Saturday or Sunday night...I went in with PJs and no money.

your cat is going to die, start preparing early

Cat had an injury, agency tells him to sign it over and they'll treat it, they euthanize it instead.

They're assholes, whether it was just a cat or not. They lied to the guy instead of just being upfront and then spent money hiring a PR-damage control bitch to explain away the mistake.

Deleting comments from Facebook? That's hardly the behavior of a company that believes it made the right choice.

Also, what the hell? Judging people on appearance? It's retarded that people do that but who really has time to go to a vet in an emergency situation and put on a fucking suit and tie?

[Purrrfect]

...his 9-month-old cat, Scruffy.

He described the cat as helping him stay off drugs for more than a year, the longest he had ever been clean.

eh?

No question, total dick move.

Now can we put down the pitchforks?

[Ashmada]

No. It's teh suicide for j00, already been decided.

[Qalbert]

I'm assuming that it's worded poorly, and he has been clean a year, with taking care of the cat being a contributing factor in the latter months.

[Deathbringer]

This reminds me of the 90% kill rate that PETA has.

They protested P.Diddy? Guess they're not so bad.

[Surealistic]

can someone explain why they protested WoW?

[Aksannyi]

Probably because there's a spoof of them in the game, called "D.E.H.T.A." if I had to guess.

[archibaldcrane]

Probably because it was another venue to attack something famous and popular in an attempt to troll up cheap publicity since that is all they ever do.
