South Jersey: Bonded x-large males being rehomed after being rescued from "being sold as food." They have been socialized for two months and are now used to people and other pets, are very vocal, and have kid experience. Separate from this post, but I've always wanted a chance to link to this article: ("What is Rescuing and Adopting?" ). A rescuer shouldn't have to pay for the animals they rescue. In a capitalist society, that only fuels more abuse. Please consider other avenues when faced with animal cruelty.
