Ellen "Degenerate"

Oh, Hollywood! Since Ellen didn't consider that the dog she adopted may not get along with her cats, who in the world is she to determine where the dog goes? I work with Homeless Pets to try and get cats adopted. As important as it is to get them adopted, the goal is to send them to good homes where they won't end up back at the shelter or worse, abused/neglected again.

Most, if not all, adoption groups have their own contracts. Once you sign it, you are to abide by it, just as you would any other contract. Since the family she gave it to has children under the age of 14, she broke the rules. I don't care what her thoughts are, she didn't abide by the contract. She just should have taken the dog back to the agency she adopted it from. They know the personality of the dog better than anyone else and have a better understanding of what type of family will make a good home for the animal.

People don't realize it, but I can tell a lot about people and families while engaging them in conversations. It assists us in determining who will be appropriate families to adopt these pets. We don't have to let them go to people just because they want to adopt. It's a process that has rules for a reason, the protection of the animal.

Of course, Ellen used her celebrity to try and get what she wanted. The people that are trying to do a good thing for animals have been threatened with arson and death. That's just great, good going Ellen, you (as Boortz would say) Moonbat!!
