wtf!! I did not!!

A lot happens in one year. Including 3 deaths, 1 in family, 2 of very close friends. There's a lot of stuff I don't remember from the past. If I did have this discussion or email, I honestly don't remember it due to the amount of personal grievances that I've been through over a matter of months.

My contact who works at a shelter didn't know either. She often asked me to help her when someone called about dumped cats! How in hell am I supposed to know when someone who works for one of the shelters didn't know! Have spoken to a couple of vets since, and they didn't know this either!!

Why don't you tell them to take the animal to the pound? People don't look for their missing pets in rescues. Had I known that by the law I had to, I would have, but I DID NOT KNOW!!!

I happened to have the number the vet gave me to contact re microchips. I had planned to give the number to that. It's a petsearch number. The rescues I spoke to had also planned to double check the microchip details had they got the dog.

I was devastated in the past, and accepted the loss and it happened over a decade before microchips.

Why don't you tell them to take the animal to the pound? People don't look for their missing pets in rescues. Except that everyone I've ever spoken to has either put posters up or posted their lost pets on facebook, when I have suggested the pounds for them to check, they tell me they never thought of checking there.

Yes, and because I didn't know it was illegal, I've since removed the page!! Happy?? Hmmm it is still up on facebook! You will need to do a lot of editing. Well it shouldn't be cause I've unpublished page.

We've had it up for less than a week, and don't worry, I'll let all future cats and dogs die at the hands of the pounds!! Happy??

Leaving conversation, I'm so over this. Happy Tracey??

Well duhhh!! Yes, because I already said I didn't know it was illegal!!! No need for the attitude. I wasn't aware you had personally placed them. No I didn't. A friend did. She told me about it later.

Yes, there is, in one of those links to the legislations posted earlier in the discussion, and it's in bold, there's a law against taking a healthy pet to the vet. And the fine is something like $2200. I'll see if I can find it again.

Anyway, at the time we put the Ads up and the facebook page, I didn't even know it was illegal as I'd been helping someone out in an established shelter.

For the record, when anyone calls, we tell them to take to the vet to check for microchip first. When there isn't a microchip, we refer them to rescues who might be able to take the dog or cat on board. We don't take the dogs or cats ourselves.
