Ardith, There are people in this world who, for whatever reasons, are miserable and live simply to make others miserable. Sad but true. All we can do for these types is too pray for them and hope that one day they will find something to be happy about. There are a few other posts asking about why VK CONTINUED to allow the rabbits live outside, terrified, when there were known dogs attacking the hutch. I'm really curious about this myself. See, I have 2 ferrets and a rabbit along with 11 cats. I have a huge pet playpen set up in my living room for the rabbit to play in several hours a day then the rabbit goes in a huge carrier so the ferrets can have their time out of the cage (again for several hours). I take precautions to keep the ferrets and the rabbit separated. I know that my rabbit is scared to death of the ferrets and I don't want any of my babies to live in constant fear, which is exactly what VK was doing. Sure, none of the rabbits were ever hurt physically according to VK) but what kind of life is there if they are terrified all the time? It honestly can't be a good life. Can you imagine, even for a moment, how your life would be if you lived in constant fear? VK subjected these poor rabbits to this but can't see what is wrong with this whole picture. Personal note to VK: would you like to have a discussion about accountability now? I'm not so sure you win that debate now we all know about what you put the rabbits through. Kinda like the pot calling the kettle black in my personal opinion (and yes, I do have one, just like everyone else). Your original post about Alex was cruel and hateful. Maybe you should read about how to have compassion and empathy for others. Your follow-up posts were equally mean. If you were looking for attention, then you got it. If you were genuinely concerned about what had happened to Ping, then you would have found better words to convey the sentiment. Instead, you viciously attacked her. I'm curious as to what has happened to you in your life that has made you so bitter and angry. Maybe seeing a therapist would help. Of course, I do realize that most of this is falling on deaf ears. People such as yourself would never admit they were wrong. Your posts prove that. I feel sorry for you. All you had to do was chose your words a bit more carefully and none of this would be happening. I am a VERY blunt and straight forward person. I pull very few punches with people BUT I have compassion enough to know how to word things so my point is gotten without hurting someone's feelings when they are already done. What gives you the right to judge anyone for their mistakes? Now, unless I missed the memo from God appointing you as a judge of others, perhaps you should look at your life and mistakes you have made instead of judging others according to your perceptions of right and wrong. I truly wish you the best of luck. I think you are really going to need it in your life. Pat [Posted in FML 6090]
