Not fair and it now subjects anyone with more than 11 rescue animals to warrantless inspections for whatever “complaint” received. And these small groups must comply with record keeping that the so-called enforcers – county shelters – do not even adhere to!
In fact, while county shelters hide behind outdated behavioral assessment and euthanize incoming animals, these small groups rehabilitate, train and successfully place animals rejected by OHS and county shelters! Read SB 6 carefully and either weep for the animals or stand up and make your voices heard.
It
is with regret that I make the decision to withdraw Critter Folks
rescuing Critters from participation of ht e2014 NW Pet Fair.
The utter lack of respect for those of us who save the animals that Oregon Humane Society will not save because they can not make a profit selling them and the damage Oregon Humane Society is inflicting on animals as they bully the small rescues into dissolution, I will not participate at any event with them present as they disburse propaganda about how great they are.
They have over 17 million in investment assets (per 2012 990's), they pay Sharon Harmon and her husband Gary Kish over $324,960.00 in compensation for 2012 alone, from public contributions.
They merely kill all ferals and they charge an intake fee and then an adoption fee. They are nothing more then a tax exempt pet store with free labor they do not have to pay employment tax on.
Sharon Harmon stated in testimony regarding small non profits "it is a profit driven practice, dogs go for upwards of $400" when in fact that is the price tag Oregon Humane Society charges. Sharon Harmon goes on to say in testimony
"It is a cash business; the transaction mirrors that of the drug trade with purchasers meeting dealers in parking lots or the mall" when in fact she has no evidence of anything of this sort occurring.
To be very clear, this is a fabrication of a delusional power hungry person with an agenda for ultimate power and control going on to say "animal rescue turned rescue hoarder is not too far down the continuum for many of these groups". The ultimate evidence of her goal of totalitarian authority is the statement
"We have a chance to regulate them now".
You personally know who I am. Do you see me profiting from my small non profit helping the handicapped, elderly, deformed and disfigured from mutilation cats, dogs and horses?
I am not a hoarder.
In fact I have cats in my possession that came from Oregon Humane Society as they were to be euthanized because they were not pretty enough to be adopted. Volunteers took the risk to smuggle the cats out and they are recorded euthanized. The volunteers who rescued these cats left Oregon Humane Society as a result of their experiences there.
With such blatant disrespect for us little folks and the damage they have now inflicted, I request a refund and will not consider any future participation anywhere Oregon Humane Society is present.

NOTE: There is evidence that rescues do indeed meet shelter personnel or other rescues in parking lots. Happy Tails Rescue has met Oregon Human Society employees in various parking lots when accepting dogs that were to be killed. Parking lots are great places to meet, they're large, generally have a green spot of grass for the dogs to walk on and get a drink.
What sort of delusional, perverted mind would equate a Wal Mart parking lot with drug trade?
