I am somewhat horrified lately at the amount of 'lynch mobbing' going on in the rescue circles. Some of the people representing shelters, animal control facilities, and rescues are shockingly rude and nasty on social media. Guys, YOU are hurting the dogs, if it was ran more like a business and marketed better, maybe you would see an increase in adoptions, a reduction of intakes? On one facilities' facebook page, the posts are constantly just crass. She's threatened to take down the Facebook page for drama, and then goes on to say "The FB page saves so many animals, their deaths would be on you guys if I have to take it down!".
She stated in another post that the puppies get adopted well and it's the adults that have trouble.
So then I'm looking today and this girl from another rescue is flipping out and ranting. So I check out what she (and a million other people) are ranting about. A pitbull rescue euthanized a HA dog (that had chronic demodex as well!), and is working on (with no guarantees..might be euth'd in the future) another HA dog. The comments are absolutely crazy.
It all just turns me off of it so bad. I know there are so many good people, and great rescues and great shelters...but stuff like the above just kills me.
