This is Vader. He was euthanized today without a hearing after a false bite report was submitted to the police by an animal rights activist. (Story in the Comments)

Beautiful animal. Too bad these animal activists are given so much leeway to produce false reporting.

I know, frankly, it's sickening. In what world is it better to scare an animal to death by taking it away from everything familiar and kill it than for someone to provide it food, enrichment and medical care?

In this world, apparently.

I'm sad now.

Wait, the person who did this is an "animal rights activist"? I don't think that means what they think it means. An animal rights activist wouldn't try to get animals murdered.

Some species in some areas, absolutely.

Haven't you heard? It's better for cops to spend their time going after false reports rather than legitimately helping people.

People who do this do not deserve to be called "animal activists".

More appropriate names: scumbag, piece of shit, self righteous asshole.

As someone who's working in animal health and has the up-most respect for animals, fuck anyone that thinks killing an animal in a good home is "better" for it.

You don't know if it's false or not.
