They are often overlooked for their aggression problems (such as the problem BC said Roxy had - When she stuck her hands IN the cage she attacked (atleast that is what I got, I'm not sure as she changed the story plenty of times) - how many people do you think stick their fingers in the cages at shelters... almost everyone!!
When they are overlooked for months and months, they often become worse, and yes miserable. I've seen it many times with animals I've visited at our local shelter. When they first come in they are so spunk and happy. Months go by, they get overlooked, everyone passes their cages because they're now slinked away back in the corner.
I think my local Humane Society is wonderful! Hence the reason I raise money and donate supplies to them every chance I get. Whenever someone is looking for an animal, I lead them on their way to my HS. They wouldn't let something like this happen.
I'm so sick of people using someone's age as an excuse. We are all human beings and we all have a way to voice ourselves.
That said, I'm not trying to argue with you, I just happen to have a differing opinion.
From what I understand, Roxy was hand-raised by BC. I could be wrong though because a few different stories were posted about that, too.Quote:
