The contract exists for the protection of the animal and each rescue group has the right to create the agreement. Whether the group's people are "good" or "mean" really doesn't matter. There isn't time to work things out nicely when the animal's life could be in danger in a non-screened home.
Additionally, each group is an independent organization. What one group does should not negatively impact the view we have of other organizations. Review their policies and contracts, and if it's too much for you, don't adopt from them. An awful lot of animals DON'T die in shelters thanks to the hard work of private rescues who pull their animals directly from those shelters. They invest a lot of time and money to do what they do; trust me, they aren't making any money.
