Rethinking the Ethics of Animal Rescue

Re: Rethinking the Ethics of Animal Rescue
Excellent article! Thank you for sharing. I, too, agreed with much that was written.
On a personal note, I was turned down to adopt 2 years ago by an Australian Shepherd rescue of national renown because in their phone 'interview' with me, I answered 'no' to the questions of would I apply Frontline monthly and dose monthly with heartworm preventative. No matter that I 'passed' on everything else that they required of a good adopter OR the fact that my vet recommends heartworm is NOT necessary for the area in which we live. Yeah, some of these organizations that are proported to care deeply about the animals they're attempting to save sometimes don't have a clue. And it's a shame because they screw up more animal's lives than they need to.
