Because of Ellen this woman does not feel safe in her home and is receiving death threats.
If Ellen would of went to the agency before giving the dog to the family all of this would of turned out differently, the family would of had a better chance of getting the dog, the heartbreak and all of this would of been prevented.
I'm sorry but after what Ellen did by getting the media involved causing all this to happen when it could of been dealt with privately, I do not blame the rescue lady for not giving the family the dog after it all ruined her life and hurt the rescue when all she did was follow thru the rescue's policies. I am not one for suing but I would be getting myself a very good lawyer to sue for whatever damages, compensation or for what ever I could.
I'm sure poor Ellen slept well in her mansion.  |
So are you suggesting, then, that the rescue organization is not considering what is best for the dog and the family, but what is best for their egos? You are suggesting that, had Ellen not called the media, the rescue would have used different judgement? If so, then you are saying that they are being spiteful. Isn't their spitefulness what is actually making them look bad in the media? Their inability to work this out? Ellen was upset and unable to do her show with such emotion and sadness....this is why this was brought out in the media. Her tears were real and embarassing, I'm sure. Mutts could have swung this in their favor by offering to consider the family and Ellen probably would have had them on her show, giving the cause positive exposure. Instead they chose to handle it the way they did. Pretty stupid, I think.
P.S. Ellen is not responsible for the crazies in the world who decided to call up this woman and offer death threats anymore than you and I are responsible for John Lennon's death by a stalker. We as fans, afterall, made Lennon a world reknown musician.
