In response to "You are right, and Beaker is wrong. No way stray dogs and cats need food or blankets unless they tell me so." by Spawn

If you are goign to donate food, you need to ask what kidn of food they want.

if they are soliciting blankets, then they want blankets. Your donation should be based on what you know they want.

I'm gonna go off the board for this one and say, "dog and cat food." - Jim Jan 7, 11:43 29
- if you show up with a pallet of Fancy Feast in tiny cans, you arenot helping the shelter. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 11:44 28
  - what do you have against Fancy Feast? -- nm - znu's cat Jan 7, 11:44 27
    - it's the tiny cans part. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 11:44 26
      - Eh, an employee takes it home for their cat instead of stealing dry cat food from the shelter. Same dif. -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 11:48 25
        
        that's a completely wasted donation, then. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 11:49 24
        
        I think it's a moot point. I can't imagine any Humane Society office turning down sealed pet food. - Jim Jan 7, 11:54 6
        
        I think mine would. - loosilu Jan 7, 11:56 5
        
        I bet you are wrong. -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 11:57 4
        
        I bet you'd be willing to call and find out. - loosilu Jan 7, 11:59 3

        spoiler. - loosilu Jan 7, 12:02 1
        
        But do they accept Fancy Feast in their little cans? -- nm - Jim Jan 7, 12:04
        
        No, the employee does not steal the food that they *will* use. As I said, same dif. -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 11:51 16
        
        so it works great - loosilu Jan 7, 11:54 15
        
        I just called mine, you are correct. - Spawn Jan 7, 11:59 14
        
        cool, now check the Northern Virginia ASPCA - loosilu Jan 7, 12:01 13
        
        Dog Food - Avo brand only, other brands call Fairfax. Cat food - Any brand. -- nm - Jim Jan 7, 12:03 8
        
        you're saying they turn away other brands? crazy!! - loosilu Jan 7, 12:04 7
        
        And yet, the Fairfax pet pantry (whatever that is) takes all brands. -- nm - Jim Jan 7, 12:06 6
        
        right, because I said all shelters turn down all food. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 12:07 5
        
        Actually what you said was showing up with a pallet of Fancy Feast is not helping the shelter. And I do believe YOUR shelter would, in fact, love a - Jim Jan 7, 12:09 4
        
        The real lesson here is, you know best, so you should donate exactly what YOU want - loosilu Jan 7, 12:11 3
        
        No, the real lesson here is that this thread is not the "rightest" you've ever been. -- nm - Jim Jan 7, 12:12 2
        
        i wonder how small the font will go in this thread -- nm - marcel Jan 7, 12:13 1

        No thanks, no way I would ever donate there as no way in hell I would ever live there. -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 12:02 3
        
        on behalf of Arlington County, I thank you. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 12:03 2
        
        In other words, I win. - Spawn Jan 7, 12:09 1
        
        Dude...we're having an epic couple pf boards here. nm - Jim Jan 7, 12:09
Agreed. I am going to go ask the cats and dogs what kind of food they want. -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 11:43
