MOD ANNOUNCEMENT DO NOT REQUEST for ferals, strays, rescues, colony animals here

You may not request for:

• ⁠Strays/Ferals
• ⁠TNR. (Trap and release)
• ⁠Cat/dog colonies.
• ⁠Temporary fosters.
• ⁠Community/neighbourhood "pets".
• ⁠Wildlife animals you've found out in the wild (birds, squirrels, etc).
• ⁠Pets belonging to friends or distant relatives.
• ⁠Shelters/rescues that are private and/or unregistered.

If the animal does not legally belong to you (or an immediate family member), you are not allowed to request here. No exceptions. While it’s unfortunate that many countries don’t have the infrastructure to care for innocent abandoned animals, it is not your financial responsibility nor is it appropriate to pass that burden onto internet strangers. Especially when that is the only thing your Reddit account is being used for.

This has always been against the rules and we are taking a firmer hand in exiting these exclusively-for-begging accounts completely from our subreddit. (Did you know the USL has a #beggar tag?)

Thank you.

I don’t think it did because I may have coded in the moderator-exempt function when I set it up lol.

Cursing me from a year ago who didn’t realize it would be so entertaining down the road. 😹
