Animal Shelter’s Clever Way To Advocate For Commonsense Gun Control Laws

The Shelter Hope Pet Shop in Thousand Oaks, California, has added a question to their interview forms regarding where prospective pet owners stand on gun laws in the United States, barring those who don’t support gun control laws from adopting from the shelter. Not only is this policy being put in place in response to the recent string of mass shootings hitting the country, but there was also a 2018 mass shooting in which the suspect had previously volunteered at the shelter to fulfill community service hours. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss on The Young Turks. Tell us what you think in the comments below.

"An animal shelter in California announced that they will not allow people to adopt pets if they do not support gun control, in the wake of the series of mass shootings that have plagued the United States.

The Shelter Hope Pet Shop located in Thousand Oaks, said that they have added "where do you stand on gun control" to their adoption interview for potential pet parents.

Founder Kim Sill, in a newsletter, wrote: "We do not support those who believe that the second 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," Ms Sill said.

The founder highlighted that the city of Thousand Oaks experienced a mass shooting in 2018 when a 28-year-old Marine Corps vet killed at least 12 people at the Borderline Bar. She added that the shooter had visited their shop for "community service hours”."
