Let me get this straight. This organisation allegedly kills 85% of rescued pets instead of making a concerted effort to rehome or care for them. At the same time, it expends time, effort, and accrued charity donations on harassing people for swatting flies and proposing George Clooney flavoured tofu?
This is surreal. Did I get my wires crossed somewhere along the line?
(As it happens, I almost never swat flies; I try to usher them to open windows. On the other hand, I'll kill a mosquito without a second thought; the damn things bite and act as vectors for infections such as dengue fever and malaria. But that's irrelevant.)
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. - C. S. Lewis
