One of the hypocritical things The McDonald Family Rescue does is say they condemn people for breeding pets, all pets (or zoo animals for that matter).  The McDonald Family Rescue loves animals more than they love people but thinks all animals should have the right to do what they do most natural taken away.  The McDonald Family Rescue adamantly reviles that animals should reproduce.   Yet The McDonald Family Rescue prides themselves on breeding finches and hamsters.  You will also note that at their so called rescue they have a plethora of kittens to sell.  For an organization that loathes animal reproduction they sure don’t mind making money off it.  As you can see, these are screen shots taken from The McDonald Family Rescue web site.  Here it shows kitten after kitten being advertised for sale.   

 

 

                            

 

The McDonald Family Rescue is no mute when it comes to telling other people how to care for animals.  Yet The McDonald Family Rescue should be taking some of their own advice.  This pigeon cage is full of feces.  Bird feces can be loaded with bacteria that can not only infect the resident bird with illness but other birds in nearby cages.

Below is a photo taken of one of the turtles at The McDonald Family Rescue.  You can clearly see the moist conditions this turtle has to live in constantly.  Sure we all know most turtle need water, but they also need an area that is dry.  If kept constantly wet, turtles and lizards will develop skin problems caused by fungus and bacteria that accumulate in the folds of their skin. 

You can see even the food dish is soaking wet and clearly hasn't been cleaned for days.  Food is rotten.  Yet another breeding ground for

bacteria and mold. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Above is a bird The McDonald Family Rescue features on their web site.  Not much to feature really.  One doesn't have to be a bird expert to know that birds should not be bald like this.  Piper is exhibiting a very typical symptom of avian boredom.  Much research has been done on self mutilation in caged birds.  It is commonly understood that birds, being highly intelligent, are often under stimulated in a captive caged environment.  Hence they turn to feather plucking as a form of entertainment, or perhaps a release of anxiety brought on by a lifetime of boredom.  Poor Piper.  Unless someone can save this bird, and get him into a better home, I fear Piper's life expectancy will be grave.  Birds with chronic feather plucking habits often cause sores that can fester and lead to fatal infections.
