I've encountered a couple of 'rescuers' who have gotten WAY in over their heads and never say 'no' to anyone, and so animals just pretty much go there to be essentially neglected and die.
This in spite of losing entire colonies of turtles to viruses because of lack of quarantine procedures, mite infestations in snakes due to the same, and general horror of filth due to whatever. The most frequent excuse is lack of help but really it seemed like something else to me.
In contrast I know other rescuers who are extremely energetic about finding new homes, spend every spare dollar on vet care and have immaculate (and I mean *immaculate*, even by non-pet owner standards) households...
