This. Is not okay.
"If you're always available how is it that your mailbox is full and nobody is answering?"
Every single rescuer is tired and barely hanging on right now. We don't sit around on our phones and just wait for you to call us, and we don't have to. We will answer what we can and when we can. Sometimes I set my phone down and get so caught up in tasks I can't even remember where I set it.
We are busy. We have lives to save. Even if YOU yourself do not see it. Busy we remain. We are also human.
If you genuinely need help? Being disrespectful to the people willing to help; isn't going to get you anywhere.
Some days are dark days in rescue, and you never know when a rescuer is having one of those days.
I just lost my second tiny baby of the year, and I was at the school with my daughter for her Field Day.. then I got another text (over a week after the first rude interaction) "I didn't intend to call again"
Clearly it wasn't an urgent situation then!
HLAR is a VERY small foster-based rescue, we are not a state funded shelter, we don't have a building, and yet we still work really hard so we can make a difference for the animals in our area. But we CAN'T rescue them all. It's not possible.
✨We most definitely do NOT have to tolerate human bully behavior or even subtle/passive aggression in our inboxes.✨
All of us rescuers are struggling with baby season right now, support your local rescues if you're able- even if it's something small from their wishlist, sharing their posts, or telling them they are doing great. Its ALL noticed and its ALL appreciated. ♥️
