That is how the shelters here are. But, if you don't work you can't adopt because how will you be able to care for the animal? Then they cry because they have so many animals? CRAZY!

The main local dog rescue here has an anti hunting dog rule. If you adopt a dog from them that is a hunting breed you must sign a form saying you will never hunt it. And if you are caught doing so they can come seize the animal and any other dogs you have on site because using a dog to hunt is cruel to the dog. barnie

Talk about cruelty to the dog! A good hunting dog has the instinct to hunt and love it. We have many hunting dogs in the area and those dogs are so happy when they are out hunting.

Supposedly you can sell the roosters to passing Mexicans. They will pay up to ten dollars each for a live bird. I'm not sure if they use them for fighting or not. They may use the bird as a practice for their fighting cocks and then eat them. ALso, Asians particularly like the darker plumage birds for eating.

Please, everyone, refrain from the subject of cock fighting.

while there are the extreme rescues out there, there are just as many good, reasonable rescues too!

Last year we took in a dog from a neighbor. When they asked if the kids could come and visit, we simply said no. They either had to totally turn over the dog or we didn't take him. We had no intention of updating them or anything. They agreed and we took the dog. They never did try to contact us about him and we found him a new home a short time later.

While I have to laugh at the extreme rescue groups who could find excellent homes for their animals without all the restrictions, I have also helped out at rescues and seen first hand the absolute HORRIBLE conditions that some animals live in. No animal should live in conditions that I have seen before. I don't care if they are going for meat.

I do also think that they could go ahead and butcher rescued farm animals to feed the homeless. Even sell the meat and use the proceeds to further fund their rescue. The important thing is that they are not neglected and abused, right?

yes yes yes! and thank you for saying this. when i hear about some of this silliness (and yes there are good rescues!) all i can think about is "there are hungry people IN THIS COMMUNITY" ...wow

who knows - maybe there will be a turning of the tides....

Yeah...I really need some doe rabbits ...I currently have 4 bucks. To adopt them from the shelter, I would have to have them neutered! Fat lot of good that's gonna do me. I don't raise livestock for pets. I have a dog for that. A big fat spayed chocolate lab. I have two spayed cats for the barn/pets. Everything else is considered livestock!

Better to end up on a hungry persons dinner plate than starving in a field with no forage, abandoned or otherwise abused. That is my view.

oh I know. I have grown up around hunting dogs and I am sorry but how are you suppose to keep a hunting dog from doing what it loves to do because a human thinks it is cruel for the dog to do it.

yea our one buddy has a redtick that has to wear his little sweater when he goes hunting if it is too cold or snowing. I always bust him that he can't take it to the club cause the other dogs will laugh at him.
