Dear Kat, Whereas your letter was touching, it was not based on fact. So many shelters are lied about and hurt by people with "personal" agendas. You write you "heard something" and "not even in my state" and "I have not been there and I will never every go there". You do not know that she was killed intentionally because her only problem was blindness. However, because of your writing another shelter is put into the rumor mill. Since visiting is not convenient to you, how about calling the shelter mom or dad and addressing the issue directly, rather than trying to get a ground swell of FMLers to think horribly and speculate which shelter this is, based on "info" provided you. Far too often the venue of the FML is maliciously used to hurt a shelter with absolute fabrications and distortions of actual events. People come onto the FML with "stories" then invite everyone to contact them for the "rest of the story". So often these "stories" are debunked but NEVER is a retraction posted on the FML by the accuser. The ferrets lose. I suggest if you find this triage practice happening then shell your money and time out and offer to take "imperfect" ferrets from this shelter/club/organization or whatever you heard it to be. You are either part of the Problem or part of the Solution! Today you are on the Problem side, as well as your cowardly informer. A Shelter Parent - anon because the dark side of few FMLers are vicious and I don't want my ferrets hurt because I have an opinion that may piss some off. [RY] [Posted in FML issue 3560]
