I ask this because I see this thread as being exactly the same as the one on FB; one rescue group looking down their noses and clucking disapprovingly about another. Maybe what they posted wasn't in the best taste or the smartest thing to say. But trashing them over here really is behaving in exactly the same manner, IMO. |

The thing I like is we are YT. It is our forum we can express our private thoughts. We can disagree and still love, and respect each other. On the quote above I disagree. I DO agree with LadyJane's response. I think most of us have shown remarkable restraint and have been as fair minded as possible. What some of us were upset about, was not directed at the charity F.U.R.R. at all. It was about what one person said. I even stated in an earlier post, that giving is good thing, picking a charity to support is a personal choice, it is ok to as for votes. BUT, that someone speaking for F.U.R.R. was bashing other charities and 'shame on them'.
That being said, I don't know how YT would be the wonderful learning, sharing, caring, support it is without, good people like Rhettsmama and Ladyjane to give us their experienced wisdom and sound advice.
