At the rate that you are taking animals from PetSmart and Petco there will be an overpopulation problem in your area. I noticed on your home page that the majority of your "rescues" are from pet stores. One was from a trash can outside the pet store and one was one of your own pets that you are adopting out to make more room for the sick and unwanted at the pet stores.

On your home page you made note of how pet stores do not take proper care of their animals nor do they give good information to the purchaser. What many people have difficulty understanding is that by taking responsibility for the sick, injured, suffering animals in the back room from these pets stores, they are absolving the pet store of wrong doing. The pet store continues buying from the breeder(who has to breed more for the demand that "the rescuer" is creating, is back breeding, has overcrowded conditions, not breeding for health, etc.) The pet store doesn't have to worry about the public finding out about the sick and injured in the back room because they have a "rescuer" on hand to take the financial and emotional burden on. And to make it all the much sweeter - the "rescuer" pays the pet store for this privilage.

That you take animals from the pet stores and call them rescues is certianly you business, however, here the majority of the people see beyond the animal that is in the pet store right now. They also see the animals to come if they were to buy(adopt, rescue what ever term you use). That is why rabbitsncavyluv and other speak up and say what they do.

Sometimes whispering will get peoples attention other times you have to speak up loud and bold. In a setting such as the internet you can get both at the same time.

Out of curiosity, how does a rat dye itself blue?
