Next time the doomsday predictions of the Rapture begin, we need to be better prepared. I'm ashamed to admit this, but I hadn't even thought about what would happen to my cats if my husband and I were among the chosen. But according to this Wall Street Journal article,
Mr. [Bart] Centre [a New Hampshire atheist, author and entrepreneur] is a retired department store executive who two years ago started selling insurance to Fundamentalist Christian pet owners who believe they'll be "raptured" into heaven ahead of the apocalypse. For those worried about what might happen to their dogs, cats, goldfish and parakeets when they're gone, Mr. Centre has a solution.
For a 10-year policy that costs $135, he and his band of atheists promise to come to their homes after the Rapture, collect their pets and care for them. He says his 259 clients tend to be devout believers over the age of 40 “who love their pets and are sincerely concerned for what will happen to them.”
wow now that's an interesting idea for a company...lol
