Leave Wachovia

Wells Fargo and Wachovia Bank merged. Wells Fargo is trying to leave animals in a foreclosed facility in Rhode Island to die.

If you have a relationship with Wachovia or Wells and you can break it, you damn well should.

Now, let me be clear: this isn't entirely Wells' fault. The owner had plenty of notice. The bank still could have opted to have shelters come in and take the animals, or at least care for them. They did not.

Really? This just sounds like bitter owner vs. bank to me. And he still technically owns the animals, not the bank. There was a sub-contractor involved also. No offense, but a parent company big as that doesn't police their contractors with that much scrutiny. No one does.

Before you all kill me, I love animals too, just an opposing view.

I'm not saying the guy should get his animals back. But it's a blatant violation of RI state law to allow animals to suffer potentially fatal neglect, in addition to being awful. Whatever the guy did, when Wells found that the animals were still on the property, they should have immediately contacted the RI SPCA to remove them to shelter. Not only did they not do that, they refused to allow anyone to remove or provide care for those animals. It's wrong and it's a felony. The guy should go to jail for his neglect, and the animals should be surrendered to the state. Everyone's wrong here, and the victims are being punished worse than the criminals.
