The Thousand Oaks pet shop is asking how potential adopters feel about gun control and is barring NRA members from adopting. Now the owner is facing thousands of threats.
"Get the hell out of our country psychopath," said a man who didn’t leave his name. The emails in the thousands are also jamming the inbox. All because owner Kim Sill isSill says, "I don’t think it’s a bad thing to ask people how they feel about gun control. I think it’s good to know how your neighbors feel."
"I believe that you should be 25 years old before you should have the right to buy a gun, I believe that a mental health check is necessary," she said. Sill says responsible gun owners wouldn’t necessarily have a problem adopting a pet at her shop but NRA members are not allowed. "We’re a dog rescue, we’re a non-profit, we get to choose who gets these dogs," says Sill.
"NRA members are not a protected class, she’s not discriminating on race, religion or gender and this is something she’s allowed to do under the law and this is her way of speaking out," says Fiset.
