Coyote or Dog: Incompetence Rules Rescues

There's a millionaire on every corner of urban America running an animal 'rescue.'  Most of them are coining money hand over fist while they have no background or experience in what they are doing.   Like this one in Pennsylvania that wins an award in my book for shear incompetence.

They actually thought they could house a coyote in a cheap-ass wire dog crate. A crate that your average dog could break out of in 15 minutes was supposed to house a wild animal.

The reason why these idiots get away with this is the rise of social media, soft hearts and people with way too much disposable cash to spend. Any story involving an animal no matter how ludicrous has people opening wallets and closing minds.

You gotta give these wingnuts credit though. Even though their place looks substandard, unprofessional and nothing like a 'wildlife rehab' facility should, they gave the coyote his own teddy bear and hand-made blankie. Awwww!

I just ain’t seen that level of love and kisses in a long time.

Here's why crap like this happens. Because of brain dead morons like this.

Coyotes don't know what human love is. They know food. They know hormonal procreation urges. They know death and mayhem. They don't have emotions. They definitely have absolutely no clue what the frack the human concept of HOPE is.

No way they could have predicted that??? My POODLE could escape from that nasty flimsy crate.

Then there are these chicks that think a coyote can't find food on its own and oh, its so cold out. Whine, whine, whine. It's a COYOTE KAREN! They are born in the wild. They live in the wild. They die in the wild. They don't need your heated home, love and teddy bears to survive. As for nursing this wild animal back to health, they don't know what was wrong with it other than they suspect it had mange.

After 600 comments from Crying Karens, finally several voices of reason and sanity came forward that caused the Crying Karens to melt down even further.

Yes, this 'rescue' couldn't tell the difference between a dog and a coyote yet calls itself Wildlife Works, Inc.?

Oh you horrible meanies who are just satisfying your blood lust. You aren’t helping anyone. Where's your compassion the Crying Karen's moaned.

Yes, Nancy this is entirely 100% their fault. If you want to advertise yourself as a Wildlife expert, you'd better be able back up your words with actions. And no, Betty White was a woman of common sense who knew the difference between good animal care and ignorance. She would never have supported this jackassery.

I feel sorry for Mike here. He's trying to be the voice of reason in a world of insanity. Mike they did it for the MONEY. They did it and continue do it for the lucrative tax-free cash that morons like Nancy above throw at them.

They can fundraise off this mangy coyote for years to come and the Nancy's of the world and Lunatic Lindy and Laura here will throw their paychecks at them.

They cry their hearts out for this coyote not giving a damn that if he does have mange, he will pass it on to other coyotes in the wild causing more suffering, not less. Critical thinking skills like that are beyond the 120 character and a picture crowd.

So who is this tool that rescues turtles from West Virginia highways and Pennsylvania coyotes to fundraise off of? It takes a discerning eye to see that their 'Who we are" doesn't actually say WHO they are.

Wildlife Works is Beth Shoaf, a woman who's lived all over the U.S. and worked in various occupations. You have to give her credit, she does run a rather lean organization for this type of idiocy. She ended 2019 with just under $110,000 in the bank 'left over' after all her rescue work. But then again, how many idiots are going to open their wallet to pay her to take care of a turtle she 'rescued' from a road in West Virginia? She claims to pay herself nothing and is only depreciating the cost of her building. That’s right, she’s writing off a building on her taxes, please don't tell me that's her home. Some mysterious unnamed person or person’s is however making $54,820 a year in salary, other compensation and employee benefits.

I'm sure after the Wiley Coyote experience she's just been through that her 2023 financials are going to be a lot more well padded. Nancy, Lindy and Laura are sure to make sure that happens. Teddy bears and all.

The $100,000 grant she got to 'expand partnerships' I'm sure will also help that bottom line.

I do have a few more follow-on questions. Like do all these people living in these subdivisions know that she was keeping a mangy wild Coyote captive right behind their homes? I mean, what if he was rabid? Don't their children's lives matter? What is she, half a mile from the town public library? (actually yes, as a crow flies, she's probably less than a quarter mile from the library. By the roads she's 0.4 miles from it.)

Dodgy situations like this happen because of the Nancy's and Laura's of the world that make it financially profitable for the Beth's of the world to commit these acts of lunacy.   It will only stop when the $$$ dries up.   Only you can put an end to this.   Save Wiley Coyote from the flimsy wire crates of the Beth's of this world. STOP supporting these "rescues."
