Animal control recently had to step in when a California man was planning on euthanizing his pets before the rapture to keep them from suffering after judgment.
There are plenty of those who scoff at camping's idea. Atheists are planning parties and groups are using social media to plan post rapture looting.
Still, camping has true believers. And we talked to one willing to kill to keep his pets from suffering after judgment.
Grace Lee explains his plan, and who stepped in to stop him.
“Hi this is Shirley from animal control”
Drama peaked outside the house of bill tinker.
Sonoma county animal control confronted him because he was planning to kill his own pets, he says, to spare them from suffering judgment.
“I'm at a conflict here because my job requires me to protect animals from being euthanized unnecessarily. (Tinker) it won't be unnecessarily!”
Outside tinker's home, he has been holding a yard sale hoping to attract people and share his message from Harold Camping, that the world will end tomorrow at 6pm.
“…and those who are not saved are going to suffer or be dead.
He even visited the arroyo veterinary hospital twice today to get medicine to euthanize his pets tomorrow.”
After speaking with tinker about his plans, an animal control officer seized Nero, one of tinker's cats to place it in protective custody.
Then with sheriff's deputies backing them up, they returned to get tinker's two birds which were inside.
He begrudgingly gave up Ola, his umbrella cockatoo, a pet he has taught to say I love you.
And his parrot Nigel… was taken from his home.
Amy cooper the director of Sonoma county animal control says they won't charge him for boarding his pets.
“I think we'll let tomorrow pass. The shelter is closed on Sunday and Monday and we'll also be in contact with Mr. Tinker and if on Sunday or Monday the staff can be in contact and we'll make that happen.”
