This woman is obviously not worthy of having animals at all. I can understand why shelters have to turn animals away. Years ago my parents had to be evacuated to a school during a hurricane which hit the Jersey shore where they lived. The chaos and confusion in the shelters that they spoke of would certainly be compounded by the addition of scores of cats and dogs, and the scenario of many not getting along, fights erupting, etc., is not a pleasant thought to ponder. So at least I can begin to understand why some have taken this stance. However....... that said, I would pack up my four and we would travel and sleep in the car if necessary if we couldn't find lodging that accepts pets. There is NO WAY I would leave any of mine behind.
