We needs it. Since this is the worst drought in recorded history for us, the metropolitan thing loses a little bit of weight. I agree with it in principle, but this is exceptional. The state is going to be out of water in three months. The mussels will die anyway. Meantime, the people who made the stupid lake against all rational thought get the temporary use of the water they blundered into storing and the mussels will have to realize the salad days are over. I like them just fine, and hate to see their destruction but it's no longer a choice. We need to make mountains of snow in august, why can nobody see that??? All kidding aside, I do not live in the metro area. I'm a farmer way north of the cities with livestock to feed and hay to make. I run a green farm and my Los Angeles drought training means I'm a natural conserver. We're absolutely desperate here and your fucking lawn and your clean car and your out of state mussels are the subject of our horror, the loss of our livelihoods, our farms, and in the long term? YOUR FOOD. I don't have TV, what is this dog thing you speak of? I was a humane society volunteer for a long time. Those contracts were always a way to cover your ass but you never hope to have to invoke them. Mostly intended for extreme cases and usually not enforceable. I hope you appreciate the advice I've given based on my complete ignorance of the situation at hand.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('5969','jenifleur'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('5969','jenifleur','Water.

I hope you get Your Meds soon, ESC. I understand Why the Rescue Group that Ellen adopted her dog from took action, there being A Contract and all. People do Dumb Things with their Pets sometimes. But, what I Don't Get is Why The Rescue Group doesn't just go and check out The New Owners. I am sure they are Fine. Then, they could have just Transfered The Adoption to them. Wouldn't that make More Sense? Instead, The Dog was put back in Foster Care.
