Maybe someone from OKYR will come clarify and answer our questions. |
Good points and I do understand what you're saying -- and I am grateful for the dogs they've rescued. I do hope they understand why this is bothering many of us, bc it truly detracts any good they may do, which is sad.

Would like an answer to that too. Good question.

I hope someday we get there - I wish it was tomorrow.
