… From KC Dog blog – Improving Customer Service Imperative to Increasing Adoptions

The problems many people have in getting approval to adopt has actually hit the mainstream — and it is becoming a bit of a joke among the general public. Just last week I caught this clip of a comedian talking about the adoption process. I think even more disappointing than the comedian’s jokes, themselves, is the fact that the woman in the audience that he keys in on is so adamently agreeing with him about the hoops that she had to go through for adoption. Watch the video – -it’s only a couple of minutes long.

And from the comments;

It’s sad how accurately that guy’s joke sums up the problem with the value system a lot of shelters have — in other words, that death is better for an animal than a lifestyle that is less than perfect in every way. We need some more realists and fewer idealist ‘my way or the highway’-types in the shelter world, it seems.
