I'm new to the list and, I guess I should say now, let the flaming begin. I'm an adult and more than capable of handling it. But, everyone has their opinion. If someone is that much against Kista, they must have good reason. People that feel they should call their lawyer about every bad word said against them aren't worth the time of day. I have heard my fair share of bad gossip about every shelter/rescue out there, including shelters in question. Although not all should be taken to heart, some should. Maybe this person knows something we don't and maybe they don't know what they're talking about. But shouldn't we hear their side of the story before we judge? I personally would like to hear their side of the story before things are turned over to "a legal matter" and I hope that the money for a lawyer is not being taken from ferret related donations since this seems to somewhat be a personal matter. Since I have been involved with ferrets it seems that I have heard more about politics between states and shelters than the well being of ferrets and I'm just about sick of it. What about these ferrets that are out there? They get pushed aside because of personal differences and I'm fed up. Personalities aren't what's important here. That's not why shelters get started. Everyone should help everyone else because it helps the ferrets in the end. Who cares what other people think of you if you are making a positive difference. But, if others think badly of you because of legitimate reasons, then open your eyes, realize your faults, and move to improve yourself. Don't fall behind the whiny "I'm going to call my lawyer" crap. That's such an American cliche, there's no meaning behind it anymore. And, once again, let the flaming begin. I've already prepared for it before this email had ever been written.
