It was not animal abuse. The city no longer airs that episode.

We as members of the rescue community need to try not judge so quickly in cases like Ron's.<BR/><BR/>I think part of that also stems from the fact that many of US have more cats and/or dogs than currently legally allowed in L.A., although the limit of three dogs and three cats, while it would be too much for some people, is not too much for others to take care of responsibly. Our overreaction and swift condemnation of people who "get caught" probably reflects our fear of getting caught ourselves. We tell ourselves they must have been doing something wrong, because we don't want to face the fact that, at least in Ron's case, it was purely an issue of numbers (and, ironically enough, Boks' desire to try to get us back on his side), not an issue of lack of care on Ron's part.<BR/><BR/>I've met Ron's cats. They're well-socialized, healthy and were probably happy as hell with Ron.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25037502.post-14619345897054401072008-03-19T08:12:00.000-07:002008-03-19T08:12:00.000-07:00The funny thing is...that tape was put on YouTube ...The funny thing is...that tape was put on YouTube (at least by the poster I saw - it may be on there more than once) as an example of "animal abuse." Of course enlightened people can look at it and easily tell that it is not an example of animal abuse at all, but some people evidently do not have 2 brain cells to rub together or do not engage the brain cells tehy have.Kelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16743468030242995869noreply@blogger.com
