The transports have become a scam as well. When you have an organization such as the Heigl Foundation offering $150 per dog for transport, can you see how this would attract a certain type of person? I've seen the dogs crammed in small crates, not even sitting level, into a van, 30 or more at a time. You know that one person, the transporter, is not going to do potty breaks or what about water? The transporter would have to unload all the crates to provide water to all. This blog has several posts with links that show how this system is not working. Just do a search for "transport". www.workingtohelpanimalstodaytomorrow.blogspot.com
ReplyDeletePlus, it is unethical and immoral to ship more dogs into areas where the local shelters are still forced to euthanize for time and space. Why aren't these groups taking dogs from their own shelter? The reasons are many. Maybe these groups have been blacklisted by the shelters for good reason. I think it is a way to keep "rescues" in business while they boycott their shelters in hopes of forcing the issue of "No Kill".
