I agree.

People have this insane desire to own an animal that's "famous" in some way so all their buddies can go WOW!Scarlett and her kittens all got great homes, but where the heck are these same people, as animals get killed every day by the hundreds of thousands?

Jan,

You said it best!! It's the desire to own a "FAMOUS" animal and come off as being some kind of hero. Sad and VERY true.

I agree it is not the best way for a dog to find the home,
but look at the alternative.
Kill shelter or reality show.
If I was a dog I would choose the TV show.

I think it's a good idea for people to write to the show to make sure all potential families for this new TV show are carefully screened before allowing to participate.

JMHO

I agree that a lot of people may want to own a "famous" animal. But I'll bet a lot saw Scarlett and her story (and her kittens) and really felt for her! I know I did! Don't forget Jan, most people have NO idea how many cats, kittens, dogs, puppies etc, are abused, neglected, euthanized, etc. I didn't until I found Mumsy's litter what, 10 years ago now- and even then- it was another good year before the full picture was shown to me through meeting different people and doing different volunteer aspects at the shelter! Had I not, I wouldn't even be on this website today or know you or have the 9 that I have! Just a reminder. Hopefully AP will take some time out to educate the public on this issue or they should be shamed for not!
