== Background == | |||
On July 9, 2023, Daniel adopted Music, a German Shepard mix, from the Longmont Humane Society, an animal shelter he was nearby at the time. While Daniel was allowed to adopt and walk out of the shelter with her, workers and bystanders were worried concerned about Daniel getting a dog, however, nobody intervened. | |||
[[File:Longmont Worker Testimony.png|thumb|401x401px|A long Reddit post made by a worker of the Longmont Humane Society.]] | |||
Workers were worried and tried to slow down the process, along with trying to guage if Daniel was truly able to adopt a dog, but ultimately let Daniel adopt and take Music. In a Reddit post made by a worker at the Longmont Humane Society, they admit that the center did not do any sort of background check on Daniel, let alone any of its customers, and that adopters lying about their living conditions was a common occurence at the shelter, although those dogs were generally returned to the adoption center. However, following the incident with Daniel, the worker firmly states that background checks are now under serious review. From what the shelter claimed later on, many people of Daniel's stature passed through and are perfectly capable of caring for dogs.<blockquote>'''''No, no background checks. There have been issues in the past with people lying about their living circumstances, but with more minor things (like whether their landlord allowed the specific dog breed, or the amount of space in the home) and the result was only that the dog was eventually returned when the adoptee belatedly realized that you can't accommodate a hundred-pound dog in a studio apartment. As far as I know, no one has yet had the audacity to just straight-up lie about having a home when they're homeless.''''' | |||
'''''Additionally, if it turns out that a "stray" brought to the shelter is owned and doesn't show any physiological signs of mistreatment or neglect, the animal must be returned to the owner after the recovery fee is paid. That unfortunately includes cases where the owner is homeless, living in their car, senile, etc. Remember that in the United States, companion animals are chattel. An animal doesn't legally belong to the shelter until they've been living there for a certain amount of time. When an animal finishes that wait period, they become "emancipated" and are then in the shelter's custody.''''' | |||
'''''I can assure you that the procedure is now under serious review. Also, the fact that Larson lied on his adoption form could potentially be grounds to dissolve the contract under which Zola was adopted to him.'''''<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/14x7n02/comment/jrlxqf9/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref></blockquote> | |||
The adoption fee was likely around $100, which Daniel was able to pay. Where Daniel got this money is unknown, although it is assumed that it was purchased with money he earned from [[Cameo Arc|Cameo]]. | |||
While the shelter did not allow homeless people to adopt, Daniel lied on his application saying that he lived in an RV, which allowed him to almost instantly adopt Music as they immediantly took Daniel's word for it. Even more confounding, Music was found to have Giardia, which is a parasitic infection that affects the digestive system. It is unknown for sure, but it is assumed that the shelter supplied Daniel food and a leash for Music, that Daniel either bought or got free with Music. Daniel would later claim that he got dry food for her, but no video or photo evidence of this would ever surface, questioning the validity of this. Daniel initially did not post about Music at all, only having her posted when a fan in the area spotted him and took a video while Daniel was seated at a Jimmy Johns, where he's seen talking to Daniel about his new "guard dog", although this was obviously untrue. | |||
Following this, multiple members of the subreddit banded together to return Music back to the Humane Society, believing Daniel to be extremely unfit for taking care of a dog. | |||

Daniel is obviously not fit to take care of himself, let alone a dog. While Daniel had Music, he demonstrated multiple times why he was unfit to care for her, and should never be trusted to take care of animals. | Daniel is [[Daniel Larson's health|obviously not fit to take care of himself]], let alone a dog.

Daniel cited that his reason for adopting Music was for her to act, “As a guard dog,” seemingly believing that she was trained as such and would thus protect him. Daniel also frequently misgendered Music, sometimes accidentally referring to her as a male. This may seem like an insignificant error, however a dog's gender is extremely crucial information, especially if it has to receive shots or any significant medical treatment.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/live/k5rBVbJmEd4?feature=share</ref> | Daniel cited that his reason for adopting Music was for her to act, “As a guard dog,” seemingly believing that she was trained as such and would thus protect him.

On July 11, 2023, WeenWeenmsuic, also known as Ween, was able to rescue Music by finding the restaurant Dan was loitering at. The operation was conducted flawlessly. Ween was able to get the dog by asking Daniel if she had permission to make sure that she was okay, pretending to be a vet.
