1st, my heart goes out to anyone in a re-homing situation. PERIOD.

2nd, I don't believe in re-homing an animal any more than I believe in re-homing a human. That's ME. And, I am of sound body and mind and age (for you age-ists) to make this statement with 100% of my conviction. That's what I believe. PERIOD.

3rd, I respect one's choice - but when a person posts in a public forum about re-homing (or anything else for that matter), I think they should be prepared for responses that don't necessarily agree with them. And you know what? That's okay - as long as it's done respectfully. And if someone chooses to try to "educate" a re-homer about the down side of re-homing, that's their prerogative. But, geez, be compassionate about it if you're taking the liberty of said prerogative.
