Again, there seems to be a plethora (that means "a whole bunch") of people out there, that like to practice "selective reading" habits. Bob clearly stated that not *all* shelters were subject to his statements, yet, it seems that a lot of shelters took it personally. Whether it's guilt, or just a lack of reading acumen, I think that way too many people have angrily lashed out at Bob for voicing his opinion. Maybe all those that are flaming Bob should take a cue from their own words and take a few trips around the country--look at other shelters and rescues. Maybe Bob is 100% right. Maybe the ones that he's talking about *do* exist. Maybe the comments that he has made about the care of the fuzzies is 100% right. Maybe Bob Church knows exactly what he's talking about, since he's actually *been* to these places. He made those statements, then said that not all shelters were like that, but that those that *were* as he stated knew who they were. Does anyone else? Bob doesn't operate a shelter. Those who have been supplying the flames don't travel all across the country visiting shelters. Let's all sit back, take a deep breath and start paying attention to the *entire* conversation and see if maybe there isn't a lot of unwarranted tossing of words here.
