Working to better the lives of animals is so often about supporting people. This is something many of us understand, but the members of our Animal Rescue Team frequently experience this truth first-hand.
“So often when somebody hears what type of work I do I hear something like, ‘I wish I could do that job because I love animals, but I don’t like people,’” said Jessica Johnson, senior director of our Animal Rescue Team. “Of course, those of us in animal welfare know that this couldn’t be further from the truth.” That’s because what’s good for animals is so often inextricable from what’s beneficial for people.
Earlier this week, our responders entered the home of a man in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Not only was this man struggling with health problems, but he also had just admitted that he needed help for his rabbits—there were over a hundred of them.
