Worried the Rapture will happen tomorrow? Services will take care of your pets
Religious scholars around the world have blasted claims by radio evangelist Harold Camping that the world will end tomorrow, Saturday, May 21.
They call the 89-year-old predictions of the Rapture hogwash.
Many people have mocked Camping’s claims. Check out the Facebook event page “Post rapture looting.”
Just in case he has it right, a crop of services are ready to take care of Fido and Fifi.
Eternal Earth-Bound Pets, a service run by atheist, is just one of the businesses lining up to take on the task of caring for pets in the event of the end times.
“We are a group of dedicated animal lovers, and atheists. Each Eternal Earth-Bound Pet representative is a confirmed atheist, and as such will still be here on Earth after you’ve received your reward. Our network of animal activists are committed to step in when you step up to Jesus,” the services website says.
For $135 the services will rescue your pet if the Rapture happens within 10 years of your payment.
After The Rapture Pet Care offers Christan taken to heaven during the Rapture peace of mind.
