What happens when you get an owner that doesn't want an animal any longer, has it in filthy, inhumane conditions, and either can't or won't take it to a place where it can be cared for properly? What convenient category do you place this?



Perhaps we should just start using the phrase reptile humane society - that would be more appropriate to describe the variety of scenarios that many groups encounter.

Actually, like I said earlier - I despise the word rescue. There are a few categories I see fit.



1. Owner drops off animal. This is called an "owner surrender".

2. Rescue group takes posession of animal from humane society or animal control. This is called a "transfer".

3. Individual finds reptile wandering through their neighborhood, and drops it off at a rescue. This is called a "stray".





I understand if you do not like my opinion. But that's all it is - an opinion. I believe we are still entitled to that... And when it comes to the world of shelters, rescues, etc... I have some pretty strong opinions. Take it with a grain of salt, and ignore it if you don't like it.
