Do Not Adopt Alert

[AnimalAvenger]

EDIT: I found out from the cat rescue that this message is fake. Do not forward it to anyone. It is only kept here to alert others who have already passed it on.


Found this on the PETA2 boards and thought I'd pass it along.

I am writing this at the request of 2 animal investigators who have requested my assistance in letting the animal community know about this gentleman: He is 67, tall, overweight, white hair, wears glasses, address is 4949 Manitoba Dr. Alexandria, VA…..A rescue group now has custody of an American Bulldog which he adopted almost 2 years ago from Assisi Rescue. The dog was severely beaten and suffered physical abuse on a continuous basis. Mr Loftus has indicated to someone that he is considering adopting a cat….he has even purchased a cat carrier.

Please pass this on to all contacts in shelters including as far as Fredericksburg.

Oh dear! Angels of Assisi is REALLY close to where I live. I am close friends to one of their 'head people' and she's hiring me once I turn 16. Is Assisi aware that he is considering adopting a cat? If not, I can tell Lisa O'Neill right away.

I just found out that is was fake >.<

[Bhuvana]

Oh, okay. That's a relief!

[AnimalAvenger]

Yeah. I hate it when people make stuff like this up. I don't get why they'd do it. Maybe they hate that Edward Loftus guy or something?

[Bhuvana]

Me too. That could be it, I suppose. I don't see why someone would hate another that much. Edward could have gotten in A LOT of trouble because of that lie. Hopefully Edward is just a made up character.
