Turning Birds into Bucks -- Posted by Michael on 09-13-04 18:45
On another chat that I can't post to they are talking about charging
fees to rescue animals. Since I can't post there I post here.
Yes, it's not right for a rescue to charge fees to adopt animals that
they've rescued, but then how do people keep the resuce going.
In our case, we have had to muster all our rescued animals to one
location rather than let members keep them at their homes.
We now insist on adopters meeting their birds, learning about it and
making an obvious bond. No bond and the bird never leaves. No stable
home life and the bird never leaves.
Then too we end up with many birds that are really damaaged both
physically and emotionally, not just anybody is going to be able to
handle and care for them. They will be with us for a long time. . .
and they need to eat and be cared for which i can assure you cost
bucks.
So, best thing to do is keep a watch on a bird rescue that charges fee
and watch for animal abuses or mistreatment or overcrowding. A
"rescue" agency that just takes birds in, doesn't attend to their
needs then turns them is not much better than a puppy mill.
Check us out and give me some feedback if you like.
