The controversy stilll rages. Who will suffer for a small mistake taken too far?
Ellen Degeneres or Mutts and Moms?. Who’s right and who’s wrong? Mutts and Moms quietly went about their business of feeding, medicating and loving unfortunate dogs while they waited for their forever home. Ellen, a popular tv personality with lots of money, decided a dog might be nice to add to her home. Innocent enough. When Iggy didn’t work out in her home, it wasn’t Ellen’s fault. She spent $3000 trying to make it work. Then she found what she considered another good home for Iggy. Still quite innocent! Except for one little thing – the breach of a legal contract that she signed. Oops! The new family was in wrongful possession of Iggy and obligated to cooperate, but refused. Rules may seem unfair at times but shelters have them in place for more reasons than I have room to discuss here. Ellen, like many, probably did not stop to consider the details of the contract but that didn’t excuse her from them. And it certainly didn’t merit her involvement of lawyers and the media. It’s a shame that M and M has had to temporarily shut down due to death threats and the uproar. How many dogs will die while humans hash out this childish dispute that should never have happened? And we’re talking humans who don’t forgive as quickly as dogs! Read Mutts and Mom’s side of the story.
