the Word "Rescue" Concerning Animals
"Rescue" written down the side of a truck from the fire department was
among the most honorable and welcome words. "Rescue" was a group of
men and women willing to risk their lives to help someone in distress
or danger. People who did true "rescue" were heroes. Now people go to
the dog pound and buy an imported mutt and call themselves "rescue",
trying to be some kind of hero. How dare they use the word! They
cheapened the word. They have degraded the word "rescue" so much that
many people now consider the word to be the ultimate disgrace.
"Rescues" are now a group of people who brag and identify themselves
as an animal extremist. The word suggests that an animal was abused
and that the previous owner was an abuser. "Rescue" people have
insulted so many petowners and breeders that the word is now a word of
dishonor and disgrace. "Rescue" has been used as an attack word by
animal extremists who make false accusations of abuse. "Rescue" has
been so overused that many, if not a majority of all animals offered
for sale will mention the word. Such overuse greatly exaggerates the
amount of abuse that exists. It says that almost all animals are
abused since almost all are called "rescues". Animal extremists have
tried to make it unacceptable to buy or sell any animal unless the
word "rescue" is attached. They have been successful.
People need to realize that when they proudly wear the name "rescue",
they wear a name that is a disgrace. It identifies them with a group
of people who want to take all pets from our home. It identifies them
with PETA and HSUS. If you want to help animals in distress, that's
an honorable thing to do, but don't call it "rescue". "Rescue" is a
dirty word.
