Animal Abusers make the A (abusers)- List

I think what Barb is saying is that the list is a good idea but there is also a potential for it being abused by overzealous administrators.

We have shelters in Schuylkill County that despite their "good intentions" make it impossible for people to adopt an animal. We tried to adopt a puppy and were so stonewalled by ridiculous bullshit that we finally went looking to small breeders. That's how we got Bruce.

Some of the bullshit was:
"If you already own a dog we can't let you adopt." WHAT?????
"If you have any other animals (cats, ferrets, birds etc) you can't adopt." Again, WHAT?????
"If you have EVER owned an animal that you didn't get neutered you can't adopt." Starting to sound nutty or what?

It seems that these screwballs SAY they want to find homes for these animals but their actions speak differently.

This is the attitude I fear will permeate the list and therefore make it almost impossible to own and care for an animal much less adopt one desperately in need of rescue.
