It seems in this land of nuts and fruits that buying a pet or rescuing one 
from the animal shelter is now "adopting" a pet, and boy do they mean it. 

These loons have prospective owners fill out long detailed forms, asking 
such relevant things as : 

1. Occupation
2. do you own your home?
3. would you mind us inspecting your home?
4. your pet history
5. for cats, have you ever declawed them?

This is just a sample of the stupidity that seems to abound in the local 
Humane Societies and such enclaves of rich misplaced priorities as Helen 
Woodward Center in Fairbanks Ranch. Better a cat get old in their cages or 
put to sleep than god forbid that it should live with a poor family or get 
declawed.

For myself, I will no longer donate to the Humane Society at any level.
