I subscribe to the local Freecycle list, and I saw a post today that ****ed
me off!
The gist of it is that the woman's 9 yr old boy's cat was killed by a car
and he will be heartbroken. So, she wants to surprise him with a bunny for
his birthday next week. She is looking for an outdoor rabbit hutch.

OK, so how many things wrong with this messsage do you see? I really want
to email this woman and tell her how she is setting a bad example of how to
treat animals. But I will probably wimp out and not do it. Freecycle isn't
a discussion group and it might get me kicked off.

Don't even get me started on the animal listings! I have tried to get a
number of cats and dogs into the shelter, but either they are gone, or
people actually think that giving them away to a random stranger is better
than taking them to *gasp, horrors* a shelter where the animal will be
properly vetted, vaccinated, spayed/neutered, and placed with a screened
home.

Honestly, there are times when I cannot take this kind of ****. I feel
like no matter how much educating one does, there is always 10^5 more
to do. Bam, bam, bam goes the head on the desk...
