I went to that website and posted the following message:

This woman makes me sick.  Who is Gawds name would run an adoption clinic
and hate animals?
 
One statement in particular makes me disgusted:
 
"I now can afford that new home, furniture and Dodge truck I've had my eye
on.  Now I can spend time with my beloved family and friends I neglected
the past 31 years to care for so many smelly animals."
 
Yes, drive your new truck; buy your new home and furniture... I am just
THANKFUL your "BUSINESS" was SHUT DOWN.  Adoption clinics are supposed to
be NON-PROFIT Organizations!  You make that those animals out to be a
burden.  Your adoption clinic should have been their santuary.  It seems
to me it was more like a prison.
 
SMELLY!  HAH!  The only cause for smelliness is YOUR OWN NEGLECT!  I own
7 geckos, 2 water dragons, a turtle, a frog, and 3 fish.  AND my BELOVED
Ferrets... BOTH I adopted!  BOTH I love!  BOTH smell like beautiful
ferrets should!  My apartment DOES NOT STINK!  Why?  Because I TAKE CARE
OF THEM!
 
You disgust me!  That $500 fine is a JOKE!  That judge should have wiped
you out.  The money from that shelter should have been used to benefit
those poor animals.  Those animals were not abandoned because they
smelled; they were abandoned because the owners walked into Petsmart and
saw a cute animal and had no idea how much work was behind it.  They were
uninformed buyers.  I thank gawd for every moment I have with my lizards
and my ferrets and would not give them up for the world... No, not even
for a new truck, new house, and new furniture.
 
I am thankful you gave up your dirty business.  Maybe those animals will
get a second chance someplace else... certainly not because of any aid
you will provide.
