I am having difficulty in dealing with the whole issue concerning Ellen Degeneres and the pet adoption company. An article dealing with this issue can be found here.
For background, Ellen adopted a dog (not a baby, a dog) and it didn't get along with her other pets, so she gave it to her hairstylist's family. Well, the pet adoption agency found out and removed the dog from the hairstylist's house –stating that they (the pet adoption agency) didn't think the hairstylist's family was the type of family that should have the dog.
This is a statement on poverty. The pet adoption agency is basically saying the home is okay for people, but it isn't okay for their dog. What audacity! The pet adoption agency made a judgment concerning the fiscal abilities of the family and then acted on it. What's next? Will regular (human) adoption agencies in tandem with social services make judgments concerning the fiscal capability of new parents and decide to remove children from homes?
What the hell is wrong with America?
