I have to agree with Leanne on this one, though I do think it's good that shelters screen people before adopting..I just think there are better ways of dealing with it besides black-listing people and publicly humiliating them when in some cases it might not even be the person who's at fault but rather the shelter owner/worker who's done something wrong and so black-listing could potentially be used in a negative way to "get even" with someone...It could be abused, so I think it's unethical to do this. Besides, there are LAWS set in place to deal with these things and there are issues such as SLANDER and DEFAMATION (spelling) OF CHARACTER, etc.. to think about too, so we can't just go around badmouthing people publicly on web sites, etc.. There are much, much better ways of handling situations when they do arise. Just my opinion. [Posted in FML issue 4142]
