This is to the person who sent the "anonymous comment" to Dawn.  I just
had to say to YOU - wow!!!  I can't believe you would rip into someone
like that - for offering to do a kind deed?  Help me out here - what was
it about her offer to ASSIST others, that upset you so greatly?  I have
to say - if you were offering advice, then you sure went about it in just
about the most negative way I have seen anyone before.  I can understand
perhaps offering your advice to the FML'ers out there who perhaps hadn't
thought of some the issues you mentioned, i.e., illness, vaccinations or
injuries - but your comment:
>I really find it hard to believe that people actually condone this and
>take you up on this type of offer.  What is the point in sending your
>ferret to a show if you're not going to be there?
 
What in the world do you mean?  You find it hard to believe people
"condone" this?  Wow - I am glad I didn't grow up in YOUR world.  Who are
you to decide whether or not this should be "condoned" to begin with?
And what on earth bothers you so much about her offering to HELP others?
I for one, find it refreshing, that someone would offer assistance in
this manner.  I really think that your comments go way beyond "helpful"
and slams right into - down right mean, and truthfully - this is what we
are so tired of happening in this forum!  Your next comment:
>Honestly, and this is JMO, but anyone that would send their ferret to a
>show with someone else is more concerned about winning a 10 cent ribbon
>then their ferret's welfare.
 
This lovely little comment has now attempted to "slam" anyone who may
have thought of taking Dawn up on her kind offer - perhaps due to injury,
or illness, or whatever ......Stop and think for a moment, if you will,
what if someone regularly shows their fuzzies and they are sick, injured,
whatever - you think if they are sending their fuzzbutts with someone
else - they are more concerned about winning a "10" cent ribbon, than the
ferrets welfare?  Wow!  You are pretty unbelievable....then you go on to
say:
>As far as division presidents go...wasn't one of your's banned for life
>from another organization's shows for falsifying vaccination records??
>That does not strike me as trustworthy at all.  So people are just
>supposed to assume that this person's records are now legit?  That would
>make me extremely hesitant about handing my ferret(s) off to one of
>these "trustworthy" div.  pres..  But then again I may be in the
>minority with my feelings about this topic.
 
***<<Gosh, I hope you ARE in the minority here!!>>***
 
With this comment you are obviously just being plain old fashioned mean -
and it sounds like you are trying to start a fight.  There was absolutely
no reason for you to make that statement - other than to try and be
hurtful.  I am hopeful that you ARE in the minority here.  It would make
the world a better place.
 
For the record Dawn, I think your offer was kind and thoughtful - and I
think YOU are a better person for having made it.  Don't allow nasty
comments like these, to change that.
