Truthful statements that harm another's reputation will not create liability for defamation (although they may open you up to other forms of liability if the information you publish is of a personal or highly private nature).
So I guess as long as we only state true fact, then we are all good^^ |
That's right -- slander, libel, defamation all require untrue statements. As long as you state facts, there is nothing anyone can do to you. I appreciate your candor. i know you were reluctant to name the breeder but it is important to let people know. If that hernia is pea-sized, that lady must have some kind of prize-winning garden! No self-respecting vet with a lick of sense could have missed that hernia. To say it is not genetic, so not covered and not worth mentioning is crazy too. A broken leg, neck or back would not be genetic either, would she also fail to mention or guarantee them?
I hope as Sugarsmom said is possible, this puppy turns around and becomes the best looking adult yorkie ever. You deserve an Ugly Duckling story after all of this! The hernia is still a concern and if it needs repair, I still think this breeder should "breeder-up" (my own play on "man-up/cowboy-up, etc.) and pay the bill! If she has any integrity, she will. I am not holding my breath.
