About 8 years ago, I was dating someone in Wisconsin. I spent entire
weekends about every three weeks with his family at their home on Lake
Michigan. The young step mother there became a good friend. We went to
church. She was in the church choir. She had a loving, handsome, kind,
doting husband and money from him for a stunning home and acres of land.
I thought she had everything.
I respected her. I really liked who I thought she was and what I thought
she believed in. I never saw or heard anything to lead me to believe she
was not who she represented herself as being.
She was a fake, fraud, destroyer of heart and home. And it was calculated
for years. She expressed no remorse at the destruction she caused around
her. It was a shocker.
If I was told that she had abused a ferret at a ferret show-BEFORE I
learned of her true nature, I would have gone up to her to share with her
the ridiculous accusation that I had heard. We would have had a good
laugh.
The Point???
You never will actually KNOW anybody. That is just One important reason
why a group should never police itself, or friends, cohorts, etc. One
cannot be impartial when judging a person one has already formed an opinion
about.
An accusation has been made that a small animal was hurt intentionally at a
ferret expo. There was no representative there for the ferrets to protect
them.
WE CAN make a difference at future shows. Please offer your services at
the shows I am reading about that are coming up, and let us know how you
are received.
For the ferrets
Lisette
