I am so very sorry to hear what happened to your beloved pets. I worked as a volunteer when I was a teenager at the local Humane Society and it was people like that that always made me want to have a big baseball bat and their address - it just makes me so mad! I cannot say I can even start to comprehend your pain - even when my father and I had to go to the Humane Society and identify our dog, Frisky, when he escaped from the yard and was hit by a car - I know there is just no way that that equals your experience. I truly hope that these scum get what they deserve and then some. I agree with one of the other people on the list - go door to door and warn your neighbours about these people. I personally think it may be better, not necessarily easier though, to do this instead of sending out mailings - no hard evidence to blackmail you with. Not that they're really in the position to do this but who knows who they work with and may bring such an item to their attention. Also, gives a face to the unjustly injured party. I send as much heart-felt condolences to you as I possibly can - take care and good luck! Sincerely, Georgette and the foursome [Posted in FML issue 1037]
