local animal shelter robbed

[nelly35]

Hello all animal lovers,

I was deeply saddened to read the following story in my local newspaper this morning: http://www.capecodonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20081027/NEWS11/81027005 .This shelter was already struggling before the break in. I am so upset that I can barely work today. I wanted to share the story with someone that would understand how I feel.

It breaks my heart that I am only able to help a few animals have a better life. What about all the others?

:(:(:(

Nelly,

We had a break in at the Meriden Human Society a few months back. Unfortunately, unlike the animals at the Cape Cod Shelter, the thieves released over 60 cats, stealing a pitbull puppy that was later found in a dumpster. I hope that with all the media attention, the CC shelter will have donations coming in. The media is a very powerful tool.

MAY ANYONE WHO STEALS FROM SOMEONE POORER THAN THEM ROT IN HELL :mad::mad::mad::mad:

Do these thieves not realize that animal shelters are struggling? A thousand bucks means everything to a shelter but it's hardly a good haul for a thief. They mustn't be too bright. It's just shameful. :mad:

I ditto what Gary said. They probably wanted it for drugs and it could mean life or death for those animals. :mad:

What total low lifes! Donna is right about the media. Hopefully with the publicity the shelter will receive more than the amount that was stolen.

Ditto, Gary!
