I think we know who the REAL bitch is here.
Dude, if I have to hear about Ellen fucking DeGeneres and this dog thing anymore, I’m going to puke.
Before this, I have to say I was an Ellen fan. I’ve always found her to be funny, and felt bad for her when ABC used her homosexuality to boost the show, and then didn’t stand behind her when her show sank in the ratings as a result. But I don’t think I like her anymore, because she’s going on her TV show with her big, over-the-top tears about Iggy, the poor little orphan dog that she saved from certain death and then gave to her hairdresser. (To be honest, I’m shocked someone gets paid to make her hair look like that. I assumed she got out of the shower and let it dry, and voila - hairstyle.)
First of all, I don’t mind what she did, exactly. She adopted a dog, it didn’t work with the pets she already had, and she gave it to a family she thought would provide a suitable home for this dog. Except that’s not what the CONTRACT that she signed with the rescue facility said. It said that she must return the dog to the facility, so that they can go through their channels in finding the animal a new home. But, being a vapid celebrity, she assumed that this little stipulation didn’t apply to her, and she went around the rule and just did whatever the hell she wanted (for further examples of this rule, please see Paris Hilton and Britney Spears’ DMV records).
Well, there are rules for a reason. Yes, some (ok, most) of these rescue shelters are nazis about who they send animals home with. But there’s a reason - they want to make sure the animal is going to be cared for and treated properly. People abuse animals, and they want to do their best to make sure that they’re placed in a loving environment. Most of these places are being operated by volunteers - these are people giving their own free time to attend to these animals, and caring for them while they’re at the shelter. Now this shelter has been SHUT DOWN because the operators are being harrassed and threatened by the morons that watch her TV show each day, not to mention Ellen’s team of ass-kissing Yes People, who have to do whatever she says or they lose their job.
I think this is WRONG. Why aren’t the idiot PETA people protesting Ellen? Why aren’t people upset that she didn’t do the one thing the facility asked her to do, which was bring the dog back if it didn’t work? Why are people mad at the fucking RESCUE FACILITY THAT WAS ONLY DOING ITS JOB?
I really wish that these nutso animal activists that are always throwing red paint at fashion shows, and “liberating” animals from medical testing labs would go protest Ellen, and give her a taste of her own medicine.
UGH.

Butch says happy birthday. Or “come and save me from these assholes.” Whatever.
