But cat sheltering is not an easy thing, and this definition of animal abuse appalls me. Grant got in over his head, and this is a horribly, terribly sad situation.
Grant? How many Directors of ASPCA shelters have gone to jail for animal abuse when their facilities have been found. Instead of spending $10,000 (which the ASPCA says this has cost so far) on removing the cats to "collect evidence" against the Caboodle Ranch owner - why not spend that money on rounding up the cats for vet care, adding (another?) facility for treating sick kitties, etc. Grant, but like Stacey Ritz, I am questioning the reaction to the situation. I'm sure there were friendly, social kitties that needed medical attention desperately.
I haven't watched the videos, and I'm sure it's horrifying. But in a sanctuary where not-always-social-cats are given a place to live out their lives. Thankfully, it turned out that was not the case. This is better? When I thought one of our ferals had a broken leg last year, I was unable to trap her. But now approximately 700 cats are sitting in little cages in trailers with an unknown fate. It hurts me to the core, too, that cats needed medical care - some of them desperately. But why is it that we have to side with one or the other- kill shelters or no-kill efforts? Why isn’t the effort instead, focused on helping the animals? Why, when local grassroots rescue organizations ask to work together with local humane society’s and county pounds, do they get turned down? Why do organizations like the HSUS, ASPCA and PETA seem to only care about money and not about the welfare of the animals they have pledged to help? Instead of claiming “victory” for shutting down a fellow animal advocacy organization, why not take a different approach- Why not collaborate?Ĭlick to expand.It was a beautiful sanctuary. They love drama and they love a story that will bring out people’s emotions. The media loves to glorify “hoarding” stories. So, to be clear, PETA says we should support open-intake shelters like the New York ACC who have allegations of neglect and as Sarah Wallace reported on November 24, 2010, "Insiders say animals under the care of Animal Care and Control are housed in deplorable conditions - cats stacked in small cages and dogs often not walked for days." According to PETA, we should send our donations to shelters like the New York ACC to help promote daily killing and abuse? If you’re an animal lover, and you probably are if you’re reading this article, do you feel confused about where to donate your money to truly help the animals? You’re not alone. What about PETA and their 97% kill rate? Who is regulating them? PETA says to support “open intake shelters”, not “rescues”. In one video released today, PETA stated, “Don’t be fooled by the No Kill Myth.” Furthermore, they called rescues “unregulated”. PETA paints the picture that all no-kill rescue organizations and sanctuary’s are just like Caboodle Ranch. So now, PETA steps in and seizes hundreds of cats- and where are they now? Are they safe? Are they being “medically treated” as necessity deems- or are they becoming part of the 97% of annual PETA deaths? Are they too being added to the PETA freezer purchased with donor funds? Apparently taking on too much, Grant got in over his head and as it has been shown in PETA released videos, did not provide a proper standard of medical care or environmental care for the cats in his care. They came to Caboodle Ranch hoping for a second chance at life- a chance to live a long, healthy and loved life. They had already endured a difficult start in life. The cats who came to Caboodle Ranch were unwanted by owners or had spent time sitting behind the cold bars of an unfriendly shelter.
#CABOODLE RANCH INSTALL#
Nathan Winograd’s Mablog, stated, “PETA paid $9,370 of its members donations in order for them to install a large walk-in freezer to store all the bodies of dead animals PETA kills at its headquarters.”PETA decided it would be wise to use their donated funds to purchase a freezer to house the loads of dead animals they produce…Which beckon’s the question- what now will become of the cats who once lived at Caboodle Ranch? Now that PETA has had their self-proclaimed “victory”- what happens to the cats? PETA uses their donated funds to pay for the unnecessary killing of nearly every companion animal they come in contact with.
