I've heard about this since NY. What to make of it? It doesn't appear to be statewide much less nationwide. It's isolated if its real.
It's unfair to blame any person or group for anything w/o proof. Odd how many have said anti free appeared in water inside crates. It would take a long time for all the people to do this across the US. Not making headline news? This is a serious allegation. How would anyone know just by looking at it? Not that many people have water coups in their crates at a show. I'm not buying it. Too far fetched. It would be on headline news.
I regret the thread on the was closed. I felt like nobody badmouthed anyone. Then rethought it. If I feel very strong about something I love it. So when people say horrible things about it I can see it being hurtful and personal. As a list mod you make any rules. But, you know we're not the USDA or lab testing animals. Many share similar passions if we could get past the misconceptions. There are radicals out there.
It's not about freedom of speech. It's about respecting one another. We should be about to share opinions w/o being hurtful. Freedom of speech isn't possible in life. Understanding is part of the solution. Not knowing how makes it worst. Your list, your rules. I understand. But you aren't a radicals. You sound like it pains you to hear people be hurtful to anyone. You sound very bright. Ideal candidates to clear the air. Maybe you won't get new members. But you will gain more respect for your mission. |
