The Shelter Hope Pet Shop in Thousand Oaks added a question for their potential pet adopters that they must answer if they want a pet from the shelter. The question reads, “Where do you stand on gun control?” The Hill reported in a piece published Thursday. The owner of the shop, Kim Sill, shared that the shop doesn’t “support” those who believe the Second Amendment means the “right to buy assault weapons.”

“We believe that if we can make our voices heard on how we feel, we can make an impact,” the Shelter Hope Pet Shop owner wrote on the website. “We do not support those who believe that the 2nd amendment gives them the right to buy assault weapons. If your beliefs are not in line with ours, we will not adopt a pet to you.”

“Thank you for the kind and thoughtful comments on this post,” the shop’s message on Facebook later read about the policy. “To the many angry humans who posted comments here I will say it again: I should not have to carry a gun to protect my shelter and to protect my staff, animals and volunteers.”

“I have the right to adopt to like minded beings in regard to gun control,” the post added. “Many of your comments are not worthy of a response so I will refrain from posting one.”

And if they were refusing to adopt to guys they would be in court tomorrow and shut down.

While there are shelters that do care about animals and rehoming them, do not believe for a second that they're all like that. A good number of them are run by psycho hoarders who don't give a damn about the animals - they just want to collect them and virtue signal. "See me caring? :starcat: " And it's pretty easy to tell which is which.

If they'd rather keep a dog or cat behind bars for the rest of its life than adopt it out to someone who has maybe one insignificant flaw, that is a hoarder, not an animal lover, and I don't even like to think about them because they make me sick to my stomach.

PETA rebuts California woman who won't allow pro-gun supporters to adopt pets

PETA said the CA shelter does good work, but noted 'a homeless animal crisis' should take priority


Animal rights nonprofit People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) pushed back against a California animal shelter's decision to turn away potential pet adoptees based on their opinions about gun control.

"We do not support those who believe that the 2nd amendment gives them the right to buy assault weapons," wrote the Shelter Hope Pet Shop in Thousand Oaks, California, according to their website. "If your beliefs are not in line with ours, we will not adopt a pet to you."
