Please post this (is my final point to this kind of debate): Dear FML friends, I have always felt and still feel free to talk to you and share and ask for advice. I have made wonderful friends here. After sharing my view about what happens here in Mexico and reading many posts that understood what I was trying to say and some that not, I was ready to let things go on in this list and do not add a single word about this story and let you belive what you want to belive. But what I am not going to allow is that some touchy ones pretend to make my description and exageration which I am so, so sorry to say it is not. Unfortunatelly every single word is true. Ochoa admits: " What this lady mentions is quite true!!!" So up to here we are correct, which I think is already the worst part of the story. But then she says: "...only happen in quite forgotten places..." And is here where I must strongly desagree. I said 6 million nobody dogs, you can be sure this is not in forgotten places, unless she thinks all the city is a forgotten place which could be for me more acceptable. I know that more people like my mother, go to rescue and adopt as much animals as they can but I repeat this is not a rule and besides my mail was purpously focused on showing what is wrong, so it was not that I forgot the good things, I said they exist and there is nobody that will be more happy to see that good things were the double at least of the wrong ones. I doubt Mrs. Ochoa has been in so many reasearch institutes as me. I studied pharmacology at La Salle university, I have a master in sciences in Genetics and by the end of this year I will be finishing my PhD in Molecular Biology. I have visited laboratories in Switzerland (Zurich), France (Strassbourg), Italy (Milano) and worked in Germany (Munich) for several months. I am serious when I say that there is no ethic in our research labs, and I am definitely not proud of it, I wish I were wrong and I were exagerating, I am the first of being hurt and ashamed of this situation. I love all animals and I adore as my own child, my little angel Gigio, I am not here to scare anybody with halloween tales. This is my final point about this. A hug and kisses to all your fuzzies. Best reagards, Cathie and Gigio. [Posted in FML issue 3178]
