FMLer's, We are FerretsFirst in Virginia and I am Robin. Few of you have heard of us or me, though we have been around for 5 years. Those of you who do know me, know that we do not get embroiled in controversies but prefer to quietly help others and deal with our issues fairly. The finger being pointed is at me and it does have truth to it, albeit, quite distorted. Let me just make one point here, and make it very clear. The writer of the verbose and indignant post was the person who provided the initial information and set up a very difficult situation in our area. Yes, she was used as a reference, because of her initial reportings, to quietly get a volunteer in to check for a problem. The writer told this person. No one was involved in this situation other than myself and a compassionate volunteer, at my request. For the record, I initiated the e-mail to Alicia in response to the request for food. I did it quietly but unfortunately, I updated her on her report. It is my wish that this stops here . Please, do not get involved or respond to her. I do not need to be defended and the situation should not be made public. Just let her rant. We will deal with our situations in the fair and compassionate manner we have always used to assure the welfare of the ferrets and the people who care for them. Thank you for my moment, Robin FerretsFirst, A Rescue and An Attitude. [Posted in FML 6399]
