::Scratching my head:: Oh I'm so confutzeled! Baby fingers, Mike T, and imaginary arguments oh my! So much to keep track of! I'm just a Wolfy. I don't have the sharp wit that Alex has, the education of The Sukie Creature, the dedication of Mr Big, or the heroism of so many rescuers in the ferret community. So, I"ll have to force my confutzled ferret loving self to stay focused as best as I can. Ferret. Yes. That always helps! Ferret. I had no contact with Miss Alexandra this past week about the Mike T subject. We didn't know what each other posted at first. Ferret. I reread the post in queston to make sure she didn't slip me any jabs or if she went toe to toe in a debate with me I did so because it's possible for me to have overlooked something. Normally, I do miss many things. Including the fact that someone slipped a glow in the dark rubber octopus in the tub of the room I was staying in at a Ferret Forum. I never saw it. True story! But this time, I didn't miss a beat. Ferret. In fact, I "liked" her post because it informed me more about the subject. I was really interested. I love anything that teaches me something. I don't just like Alex, I respect her. Ferret. I actually went to bed very uneasy, because I started to worry that she would view my post as being narrow minded and as argumentative. I stressed about the thought that others would perceive me as coming down on her. I truly feared that this was overkill on my part. Yikes. Ferret. I felt compelled to reply to it because I feel so passionate about little Robin, the ferret who wouldn't die, and the dreadful lack of justice for her and her lost loved one. I was worried, that maybe someone would miss my points and also that I"m not hateful of Mike T. But I AM completely miffed, no pissed, at AP for exploiting a broken individual and "honoring" someone I felt should never be, let alone get a show on a channel who's primary purpose is for education and for animal welfare. Someone with a past of animal neglect and violence towards others. He seems to love his pigeons very much, but its ironic to me that of "all" competitive animal sports, he chose one that is highly shunned among most animal people because of its long, long history of abuses. Normally, these birds aren't "pets". You wouldn't throw a "pet" to the sky knowing the high risks that could lead to a horrible death. CRAP! I did it again. Preachy and repetitive creature, yes I can be. Because this concerns such a COMPLEX individual a and controversial practice, I'm not bringing it up or replying to it again here, not even in jest. I've taken up too much of everyone's time again and overstepped with a dear friend. I think Robin and her deceased friend's story has been covered well here. Details can be obtained by those who were actually there at the rescue and at the proceedings. This is your forum, not mine. I'll just listen to what others have to say, and quietly write my little letters to the sponsors and tv stations. Ferret, ferret ferret! I'm sorry to Miss A and those that I my find me harsh. Wolfy ps, I recorded his show, I will skim it for ad's soon and I'll write down the sponsors. And if anyone would like the list, they can write me. [Posted in FML 7000]
