GREAT comments.
And I think this clarified for me that, currently, I am not sure of OKYR's mission after what I've learned today. I'm not saying they haven't rescued many, many dogs - it's clear they have.
But, what has stuck w/ me the most since this afternoon was this comment from a former OKYR member to a current member:
"You know as well as I do the first auction with biewers OKYR was prepared to spend several hundred dollars for each biewer" -- that's where I'm just lost as to the intent of the rescue. When I think of the
quantity of dogs who could've been saved using those "hundreds" that were earmarked for the biewers, I just don't get it.
Why was OKYR willing to spend hundreds on the biewers....that is the burning question that I can't get out of my mind. That is where I don't understand the intent or mission of the rescue.
