Oh, I'm not particularly making a judgment one way or another in this case. They are placing the burms themselves, in which cases I don't get nearly as "het up" about excuses as when people dump the animal into rescue. What really frosts me is when people use these excuses and can't even be bothered to take responsibility for placing the animals in new homes. I kinda think it's dumb to get animals like burms without considering how much room they'll take up as adults, but as long as the owners make sure they stay out of rescue I'm not gonna obsess about it.
As for pits, right now I've got two pit mixes myself. One is the pup I mentioned recently, that I found on the road. The other is an adult mix I found on the side of a state highway. Both are great dogs, of course. ![](images/smiles/smile.gif)

I recently had a russian tortoise in perfect condition surrendered because the person was moving. She was moving into a much smaller home and her huge cage would not fit. She was losing her house and renting something that was 500 sq feet. The rubbermaid pond set up (sans water) she had for her russian will not fit in my home, let alone hers. >> >>In this economy MANY people are in fact loosing homes and downsizing.
