Mary,
When you know better, you do better -- and we have all seen how much better you've done & the lengths to which you're willing to go to set things right. I said yesterday we were proud of you & I meant it. I'm still proud of what you did to get those dogs out of that so called home.
I am also proud that you are willing to tell the truth to us now. I'm sorry that you felt like you had to hide the truth from us when you first came here, but I understand why. Perhaps those words should speak very loudly to some here. (The tone needs to down turned for newbies - that's another conversation.)
Do I think lying is right - no. But I understand why you held back the truth, even when you first told about the breeder & asked for help on how you could shut her down. I understand that then you were still afraid, the attacking might get in the way of doing the productive thing and getting the answers you needed.
Thank God that with your loving care you have a healthy pup out of everything you have went through. You have helped shut this woman down, most likely saved the lives of many animals, helped educate others in your community and helped educate others on YT about how to go about making a difference with a puppy mill or byb.
You can hold your head high here - especially since you let the truth shine thru in the end. I pray you can hold your head high in your own community. I am praying that you and your family are honored and not chastised for you actions - because that TV report left no room to guess who turned her in. Hopefully, your actions have inspired others to do the right thing - be it ridding the world of another bad breeder or taking action on some other issue.
Hugs to you. |
