ICE raids are leaving some L.A. cats and dogs homeless

Chuco, a pit bull, was dropped at a shelter after his owner was deported last month. Many other dogs and cats in L.A. are facing similar circumstances as their caretakers vanish or flee.

Family pets are being abandoned as a result of the ICE raids.

Curious, how pet owners who voted for Trump feel about this.
 
What a desperate, irrelevant point.
 
I read another story where homeowner came out to find a running lawnmower and a truck in the driveway but no gardener to be found.

They should not have tried to save a few bucks by hiring the landscaper named Jose instead of the one named John or Bill.
 
If a drunk drunk driver gets arrested and his child ends up with CPS, I'm supposed to blame the cops?
 
No worries, the remaining immigrants will eat those stray cats and dogs.
Winning!!

So no Hispanic gardeners allowed. Basically do your own. Got it.
 
Send some Haitians there.
 
You know when else pets are abandoned. When people break the law and go to jail. Should those people be above the law as well. Or is it just illegals you think should be.

1. Improper entry into the U.S. is a minor crime. These people are not real criminals and when they are deported they will not be charged with any crime.

2. The undocumented immigrants should be treated with dignity and respect, and should be given the opportunity to bring their pets with them.

3. How would you like it if someone effectively took your pet away from you?

I think we should give them time to arrange their affairs before deportation. We shouldn’t put them or their pets in a situation where their pets are being abandoned. It’s messed up for the immigrants and it’s messed up for the pets.

Do you have pets? A dog? A cat? How would you like it if someone effectively took your pet away from you?

What’s wrong with engaging in a mutually beneficial economic transaction? I thought you Trump supporters were “real” Americans who believed in good ol’ capitalism?

The horror.

If you see the same gardener every month for 10 to 15 years it is horrific because that person has become part of your life, part of your community.

The situation with a pet is very similar. It’s messed up all these pets are being abandoned. It’s bad for the immigrants and bad for the pets.

You didn’t answer the question.

Let’s try again:

How would you like it if you were forced to abandon your pet?
 
Shit happens when you get taken into custody, like losing your pets and your job.

Shit happens, but the government and the Trump admin is the one causing the shit to happen in this case. There’s no particular reason why things have to be done this way.
 
Does anybody know the current whereabouts of JD Vance? I’m concerned about his willingness to eat the cats.
