Animal Shelter

Monday I went with Clark and Olivia to the Seal Beach animal shelter. it was a pretty interesting experience to say the least. Now, I consider myself an animal lover, but these people were HARDCORE!! they knew the names of all seventy-some cats and twenty-some dogs...and they made them Valentines!! And the kitten "nursery" was painted specially using pastels...including the cieling, and the sign on the door warned against leaving any "feather or string toys in the nursery unattended"...kitten choking hazzard?!? i wasnt aware that they had to put "3 +" warnings on cat toys... anyways, it was a pretty cool experience, we took a tour of the grounds, and then got an interview with the main "dog" expert, and then the main "cat" expert, and got a lot of good footage that we all thought would add something good to the project, especially when the woman started talking about abuse, and how it begins with animals because they can't fight back, and told us some of the stuff people would do to these animals. it was terrible. mostly i held the boom for the interviews, and help carry the equipment, because there were only three of us. It was really cool to be able to go!
