A new business is taking off these days. With many people believing that the Christian occurrence called “Rapture” is imminent, they worry about what will happen to their pets after they themselves disappear in the second coming of Christ.
Enter Eternal Earth-Bound Pets, a company that specializes in caring for the animals people leave behind. The challenge is finding the right people to care for the pets, according to Business Week,
This paradox poses a challenge for Centre. He must reassure the Rapture crowd that his pet rescuers are wicked enough to be left behind but good enough to take proper care of the abandoned pets. Rescuers must sign an affidavit to affirm their disbelief in God—and they must also clear a criminal background check.
While I think it’s a nice gesture to protect the pooches, my guess is that in this event people will have far greater things to worry about than those poor animals that remain Earth bound.
