We will pay for rescued Cats and Dogs
by CarolAulett, 11/11/05 20:30 ET
Hello well intentioned people,
My company has an immediate need for 300 small dogs and 500 cats.
De-clawed cats are fine! The animals need to be fairly healthy
animals. They need to be alive for at least 30 days after our intake.

The price for these animals are as follows:

If we pickup in Arkansas or Mississippi $5 = cats, $9 = dogs

If animal is shipped to our home office in New Jersey (address to
follow) $25 = cats, $29 = dogs
In addition to this, we are providing an incentive to the person who
rescues the most animals for us. At the end of December, we will
tally up the rescue efforts. The person who we conclude to be the
greatest asset will win an all inclusive trip to Las Vegas, Nevada
for two people for 5 days. This will include air transportation from
Louisiana, hotel stay at 3 star or better resort, meal tickets for 2
meals per person a day, entertainment coupons including 1 fully paid
entertainment concert, and $300 in casino comps spending monies.

We are really concerned about the well being of the cats and dogs
after the Hurricane and want to do our part to insure the animals welfare.
