I could not agree more. It is my understanding that as far as we know none of the animals are sick (although since they do not receive veterinary care, I guess we really cannot be sure of that). What they are trying to do is get together enough money for someone who has collected four animals without having enough income to do anything other than feed them, so that she can take them to the vet to be spayed. I believe this all started in an attempt to correct a behavioral problem which may well have developed from the stress in the household. Somewhere along the line this child has convinced some well meaning people that it is in the best interest of everyone to pay for everything she has been unable to do while continuing to adopt additional animals and ask for more (a bird). I think that about sums it up.
I personally think the animals should be placed in homes where they can receive the care they need. That would also free up money in the household to pay the electric bill, but I am sure that I will be considered cold or unfeeling or mean to suggest such an alternative.
