 === Question 3 ===
+{{Red|u/_Ruzo_}}: I will say this; I do not entirely blame you guys, but I do blame you a tad bit. It may be cruel, but a simple look at Daniel should tell you he is incapable of taking care of a dog. He smells like shit, has grime under his fingernails, has one eye basically bulging out. But at the same time, if he did lie on his paperwork, who are you guys to doubt him entirely?
+Could the situation have been avoided? Yes. Is Daniel also a slippery, manipulative rat? Yes.
+{{Green|u/Longmontpaws}}: I think in this case, it was a perfect storm of bad circumstances. There's a staffing shortage and staff retention issue in many industries right now, and charities are no exception. LHS is a little short-staffed, and the staff they do have are relatively green due to all the turnover. The procedure isn't the best, because as a small shelter in a relatively wealthy area, the honors system hadn't dramatically failed like this before. Finally, imagine the personality type drawn to charity work. If you're somebody with a sympathetic, charitable view of other people, you're more likely to look at an unwashed weirdo and feel pity more than revulsion. When you're somebody who helps people for a living, you're unfortunately vulnerable to emotional manipulation, by the nature of these things. I include myself in these personality-based generalizations, for the record hahaha.
