I got a kick out of one sentence in the story: "She said her animals make her really happy." You know, I could care LESS if SHE's happy. I would like to see the ANIMALS happy. Not convinced they are. And for all we know, Eric the zookeeper is an 12 year-old kid who comes in once a day to feed and water them and leave. [Which is probably better than the attention they get from Hilton.] Get real. She's a narcissist. She only cares about HERSELF. Oh yes, and while I'm at it...where's this changed person since prison. I don't see her. Would have been nice if you had done something to contribute to the welfare of animals. In fact, I dare you, Ms. Hilton, to use your celebrity and go up to Oregon and get them to give Snowball back to her humans. [Hmmmmm.......don't know who Snowball is, do you?] Mittens: you’re too funny [first paragraph].

The local city shelter is small and crowded. Very few of the animals will ever walk out that door again. Smaller, rural communities often can't support proper shelters. They're also one of the most affected by people that can afford pets but dump unwanted or "problem" animals rather than take the responsibility of finding them a good home. Perhaps having owned ranch property Miss Hilton might be aware of that. If not it might be helpful for her ask around. Maria- exactly. The local city shelter is small and crowded.

Why not donate an amount equal to that zookeeper's salary/fee to a few no-kill shelters or animal welfare organizations. I'm sure Ms. Hilton can afford both.

Wouldn't that be a violation of her parole or something? :P Funny, it’s illegal to keep ferrets as pets in California.

Doesn't work for me . . . sorry Paris, Britney, et al.

Much better to expend energy where it might do some good. It’s not my place to judge how your pets are taken care of, as long as they are. Much better to expend energy where it might do some good.
