“YOU KNOW WHAT I HATE!!!?
PEOPLE WHO ARE MEAN TO ANIMALS!!!!! The only promise I make in this whole page is this: If I ever see anyone on god’s green earth harm a dog or be mean or unkind to any mammal, I will SEVERELY hurt you, I swear to god, I swear on my computer, on my car, on my f*cking LIFE, I will hurt you.”

Does that sound like someone who ever abused animals? Harris hated people, yes, but he cared about animals. There has never been a single documented case of either Eric Harris or Dylan Klebold abusing or expressing a desire to abuse animals. Please correct your errors regarding this in the original post and in the future please do a little more thorough research before you continue to spread falsehoods and lies.

One more important aspect: I am a candidate for the presidebncy of a major west coast shelter and one of my proposals is to do away with adoption fees. The huge objection to this is the concern over loss of control in the adoption process: anyone could then get their hands on these beautiful animals.

This is a valid concern. An effective prevention is the collection and dissemination of data between all members of a community’s rescue members. When an abuser is identified, that name gets passed around locally as a name to avoid. A law amndating this would make the exchange of data between law enforcement and local rescue workers so much easier. And it wouldn’t be restricted to just one part of a state.

Thanks so much for highlighting the ALDF’s work. This is very important to rescue groups and shelters across America.
