Isn't that the truth? Nearly all my pets over the years have been rescue pets. It's just the way it usually works in my book. You go to the pet shelter and pick out a critter in need of a home. It's gotten more complicated than it used to be with application processes and pre-neutered animals, but it's still the same idea. The only time I bothered to mention it to anyone was with our last two cats because they'd been taken from a feral colony at an age when they were young enough to become cuddly pets and also too young to have learned to hunt. It was kind of comical to see them with the instincts of cats but no skills from mom. They'd catch the odd mouse in the basement and carry it to the bathtub to play with it. The mouse would eventually escape somehow because they didn't know how to kill it (or that it was their job maybe!), get bored and walk away.

Oh, that's a great story - thanks for sharing! I'm all for adopting pets from shelters and love animals. I just cringe whenever people are bragging all over social media about it to virtue signal everyone how special they are.

I know someone with an autistic child and their kid is literally the OOOOOOOOOOOOONLY thing she ever talks about - EVER! Every sentence is some type of virtue signaling b.s. about how tough it is dealing with a "special needs" child (hate that p.c. term too, btw). Guess I'm just fed up with the Dem-led brainwashing/programming of that victim-hood mentality, coupled with their endless "diversity" push.

It's like we have 2 completely different mindsets in this country - so different that we shouldn't even be LIVING in the same country. It's not just about politics - it's how people see the world as a whole. Incredibly different views and values that are NOT compatible with our Constitution and its foundational Judeo-Christian principles. In the same way America is not compatible with jihadi radical Islamic beliefs, America is also not compatible with lefty loons' beliefs either.
