This is just my opinion, but here it goes . . . I see no problem with auctioning animals IF . . . 1) Proper information is given about the care of the pet they are adopting. 2) People are there looking specifically to adopt a pet. I feel that unless these two requirements are met, there is no need for a person to adopt a pet at a auction, or even purchasing from a pet store, or a shelter. Another thing you need to look at about this auction: where would these animals had ended up if they hadn't been auctioned???? A humane shelter, or worse??? If so, at least being auctioned they have a better chance of having a good long, life as opposed to . . . well, you know. [Posted in FML issue 1565]
