Perhaps this has been posted already.

After The Rapture Pet Care

For those who might be worried what will happen to Fluffy and Snow-Ball when Jesus comes and leaves the soul-less creatures behind.

Is this company for real?
Are they scammers preying on "believers"?

That is probably one of THE most ridiculous things I have ever seen. But also one of the most genius money making ideas ever!

Here's a group of people that get to make a bunch of money- and never have to actually do anything! And as for them seeming like they are "taking advantage" of believers- how's that? I don't believe they are in the least. Of course I personally think the idea of a rapture is absurd, but obviously there are a large number of people who are completely confident that such a time will come, and so it makes sense that they'd be worried about their non-christian pets being left behind. So if this organization can offer the "believers" a degree of comfort, and remove any worries or fears they have for the future welfare of their pets for a small fee, what's wrong with that? Sounds to me like everyone's happy. Cool!

Yeah..I'm not a subcriber to the rapture theory either, but I was sitting here not knowing what to think of that company. Are the genious or just plain scammers? Both? In any case you are right...at least those whose worry about their pets can rest assured...

It's funny because I thought of this about 15 years ago. They're no more scammers than the church passing a collection plate during services.

It is definitely a scam. They are taking advantage of people that plan on the Rapture happening. They presumably don't believe in God, since they figure they will be left here to "take care of your pets". Thus, they are banking on the "fact" that this will never really happen, so IF and WHEN it does, don't count on them fulfilling their end of the deal.

Trust me, if millions of people disappear, the world will be CHAOs, and no one is going to be worrying about pets. Sad to think about, I know

If I was running this business, I would most certainly fulfill my end of the deal. After all, fresh meat will be scarce after the world is plunged into chaos.

I agree with you that this company is "banking" on no rapture. However, they might believe in God in their own way, just not rapture. They are sitting around collecting money from those who worry about it. Ahhhhh....capitalism! What creative minds can come up with.

I wonder how much money they are making.
