Marina Batkis is the co-owner of Mutts and Moms, a pet adoption agency. She was recently thrust into the national spotlight when her agency "repossessed" a dog that talk show host Ellen Degeneres adopted, but then gave away to her hairdresser's daughters when her cats couldn't get along with it. Ellen explained the situation when the agency called during a courtesy call the organization placed to see how the dog was doing. Ellen explained the situation and apparently it violated the adoption terms, so they took it away. Then Ellen when on her talk show and cried about how heartbroken the girls she gave the dog to were. Batkis and her organization refuse to back down.
"If Ellen wants to place dogs and decide what's a good home, then she should start her own rescue group," she told "Inside Edition." "But I'm the one doing this and I know what I'm doing."
Batkis has received death threats since Ellen addressed the issue, leading Batkis to cry in a press conference outsider her home. Good. You deserve to cry, you worthless bitch. You deserve to die too, and if I didn't live all the way across the country, I'd kill you myself.
I adopted a cat from an adoption agency before, and it was the most miserable experience of my entire life. These agencies are the all same, they're all essentially run by Kyle's Mom from South Park, some self-important bitch who desperately wants whatever power over other people she can possibly muster.
Pet adoption should be an easy process, especially seeing as pets that DON'T get adopted are eventually euthanized, but stupid bitches like Marina Batkis make it hard. They make you fill out lengthy questionnaires before they give you a pet, then once they finally DO give you one, they harass you with follow-up calls for about six months. What the fuck is that? Don't you pieces of shit have anything better to do with you lives? Shouldn't you be working on finding homes for the pets that ARE STILL SITTING IN FUCKING CAGES IN YOUR HEADQUARTERS, instead of harassing people who have already adopted pets?
Seriously, someone please kill Marina Batkis. I nominate Reggie Fils-Aime. He could strangle her with a nunchuk attachment.

Agreed.
The most horrible part of the situation is that the organization took the pup from its new owners, and apparently have no intentions of returning it. I mean, I'd be completely understanding to this if they'd been abusing it or something; but, clearly that's not the case here. It's ridiculous how the organization would rather continue to invest money into the caring of this dog, rather than just let it stay with its new family. In my opinion, the bitch is just on a power trip.

The adoption process does certainly seem ridiculous, but why is Ellen crying about it on national TV? I don't need to know her personal business, and it seems I can't avoid hearing about it from every news source.

And THAT is another reason why Batkis has to die. Now we have to hear about this Ellen Degenerate bullshit because of her.

This is like buying a DS at GameStop, giving it away to someone, and having GameStop take it back. Seriously, this is totally gay. A pet store wouldn't do this, so why must this self-important bitch pull crap like this?

And this is making the adoption agency look bad too. If i wanted to adopt a pet, I'll go to the pound. The pound may have slim pickings but considering the shit you have to put up with this adoption agency crap, the pound may be the cheaper option.

Here's an interest blip that shows even more douchery by the Adoption agency:
The attorney for Mutts & Moms tells "The Insider" that ELLEN DeGENERES' formerly adopted dog has been placed in a new home. Sources tell ET that while the agency claims Ellen broke her contract by giving him away to a trusted co-worker, the Mutts & Moms owners themselves have not followed all the rules set by their company. They allegedly did not require Ellen or her partner PORTIA DeROSSI to fill out an application, nor did they change the registered owner information as they said they would. Our sources also tell us the family Ellen gave the dog to did fill out an application online when the dog took up residence with them. It was at that time the agency said they would come out to inspect their property as part of the adoption process. Instead, they reclaimed the dog after calling the police.
