I was disappointed to read Alexandra in Massachusetts's put down of Kim Fox in her rather drawn out sarcastic message. It was this kind of intolerance that led to events like the Salem Witch Trials which took place over 300 years ago and I am surprised to see that this mindset still thrives in America today. Whether we do or do not believe people who say they have the ability to communicate with animals, surely it would be better to treat them with a little more respect and a little less rancour?
