Pet peeve: when a shelter is too lazy to take a decent photo of an animal. [View all]

I hope this is considered a related post to this topic.

I see this a lot as I'm on many shelter lists. Imagine the poor guy has his one chance for likely adoption screwed up as the photographer takes a photo of his back or hind end, etc.

It sounds crazy but I've seen this.

Right now a shelter is trying to get 7 puppies from one litter adopted and the photo has all of them scrunched in one corner - a distant shot as it is and the shelter floor is covered with excrement.

What chance to these little guys have of getting adopted when you have to enlarge the photo to even try to get a decent look at them. Plus, they couldn't take one second and try to clean up the floor?

I wrote to them about it and I'm sure they won't like it but I just had to say something.
