So You Want To Be A Rescuer

Typical Animal Rescuer Boast And Slam Rescuers bragging about the animals they 'saved', and of course bashing the previous owner, or the rightful owner the 'rescue' stole the animal from. These brags are always followed by fellow aws ego- stroking and patting the animal 'rescuer' hero on the back with plenty of kudos.

Many times, it's your average animal lover who isn't even "rescuing" animals who bolsters the ego of the "rescuer" because they actually believe some good is being done, not even realizing some innocent person's reputation or possibly even livelyhood gets ruined by the "rescue" effort.

Animal Welfarist Gossip Fest Other times, the animal welfare and rights "rescuers" turn on each other in the very same way they condemn pet shops, breeders and other private pet owners. This is because while all of them preach that there is nothing more holy and worth doing than "saving the animals" once they are convinced that a fellow "rescuer" is breeding their animals, not keeping them in satisfactory conditions, or even culling them, they go ballistic, slamming the other "rescuer" into the ground in order to make themselves look like the better, truer "rescue" who "cares for the animals.

A trash-talking article against the San Francisco animal pound is nothing more than a fourth-rate snitch-piece instigated by some private dog "rescues" vying for glory and animal hero status. It is full of unenspiring, designedly depressing dog stories, each dog being named with their stories told by each "rescue" involved to make the greatest emotional impact on readers like a dying child chain letter hoax, while making themselves out to look squeaky clean and "caring" while villifying the animal pound. In the end, and most notable for sheer offensive anti-pet owner, pro-"rescue" propaganda, the piece concludes, as both the pounds and the "rescues" always do, that everything is always the fault of "irresponsible" "uncaring owners. the article is saturated with animal welfarist language, using "foster" and "adopt" instead of "buy" "sell" "rehome." It is a truly sickening but all too typical "rescue"-influenced piece that reads like a melodramatic chain letter and simply can't be taken at face value. The San Francisco SPCA tells its volunteers to keep their mouths shut about it concerning the media. So-called "rescues" and the pounds are rivals seeking glory, and neither is a friend to animal owners.
