Disreputable rescue groups
Anyone who works for, volunteers at or contributes to an animal shelter or rescue group can tell you how quickly a person will loosen those purse strings if you have sad animals representing you. Sad puppy dog eyes, a litter of newborn kittens or emaciation from starvation will bring in the money.
I have said in this blog over and over: before you contribute to any group, check them out. Check out there finances and if possible, go and visit. Find out where your donations, whether monetary or otherwise is going.
When I read this story I was disgusted. Human beings who would stoop so low as to take in animals under the pretext of being a rescue to solicit money and then allowing them to starve to death under your care is the height of irresponsibility and we won't get into the ethical side.
So once again I will remind everyone to check out whatever rescue group you would like to become a part of. If it is a 501(c)3, it will be registered with the state, who keeps track of these things. No legitimate rescue will mind if you see what they do.
