Caring for Pets Left Behind by the Rapture

For a fee, this service will place your dog or cat in the home of a caring atheist on Judgment Day



Many people in the U.S.—perhaps 20 million to 40 million—believe there will be a Second Coming in their lifetimes, followed by the Rapture . In this event, they say, the righteous will be spirited away to a better place while the godless remain on Earth. But what will become of all the pets?



Bart Centre, 61, a retired retail executive in New Hampshire, says many people are troubled by this question, and he wants to help. He started a service called Eternal Earth-Bound Pets that promises to rescue and care for animals left behind by the saved.



Promoted on the Web as "the next best thing to pet salvation in a Post Rapture World," the service has attracted more than 100 clients, who pay $110 for a 10-year contract ($15 for each additional pet.) If the Rapture happens in that time, the pets left behind will have homes—with atheists. Centre has set up a national network of godless humans to carry out the mission. "If you love your pets, I can't understand how you could not consider this," he says.



Centre came up with the idea while working on his book,

That's truly amazing that some people actualy would buy into this. I'm in the wrong business.

There is no Rapture!

Capitalism is a great thing.

Everyone I know who is convinced of the Rapture has promised me that they will be sure to leave their doors unlocked when they leave.



I figure I can have some great garage sales after I upgrade things in my house with what they leave behind.



They promised to leave the keys to their cars where I can find them and to sign over their registration to me. Hey, what can I say. I'm just trying to help them be prepared. They can't take it with them.
