> Hire, like rent can be either sale or purchase.



Hmm, I've never understood it that way, although granted, I have never sought to procure, nor to offer, the services of a prostitute.


"Hire, let, lease, rent, charter mean to engage or grant for use at a price. Hire and let, strictly speaking, are complementary terms, hire implying the act of engaging or taking for use and let the granting of use." http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hire

Rescue places sell animals. A pedigree breeder who sells puppies and can show that all the relevant health tests have been done on the dam and sire is being responsible. I certainly wouldn't expect them to give them away for free. And, just because they are a Kennel Club approved breeder doesn't mean that they have the animals best interests at heart. You only have to look at (most) Bassets, Pugs, German Shepherds, English Bulldogs, and watch the two programmes of Pedigree Dogs Exposed to see that Kennel Clubs still has a long way to go.

    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
