So, whatever decision is made by them is entirely their choice. Don't you believe this is also true?
We are all capable of using our eyes to read and our brains to consider it all. Some of us also have our hearts involved. I consider this to be a good thing. For me, the heart issues are the most important ones human beings ever face in their entire lifetime. While I understand that there are some that would rather dwell on other issues, the fact is that this is about Emma.
What I decide to do, in any event, is entirely my decision. It is the same for everyone here. There is extreme evidence that this is a true event that is happening. We are each free to make our own choices about what we will do regarding it all. The images are real. The emergency is real. The expenses are real.

Yes, you are absolutely right. Everyone here is an intelligent adult an capable of examining the situtation and making their own decision in regards to the situation. I completely agree with you on that point. :thumbup:
However, I think that people here--particularly newer members who may not be aware of previous situations--deserve the right to have ALL of the information possible in making that decision--particularly when it involves donating to a member in need. I don't think it's realistic to assume that everyone who reads
this thread has a general knowledge of everything that has ever gone on in the past. I think it is the concern of many people that
this thread is not the only one to be considered and that past events and details should maybe be taken into consideration as well and that it is their right to voice those concerns. I know that if I was a new member and the validity and details regarding a shockingly similar situation had been highly questioned by MANY in that past, I'd *hope* someone would clue me in on them and then
from that point, let me make the decision on my own.
I think that everyone deserves at least that.
If a new member came on here and informed everyone that they were considering getting a puppy from a breeder who YT members knew to be a horrific puppy miller, would it not be expected that they be given information on the person and then allowed to choose their own course of action? I would HOPE so.:( Or should they just be left in the dark?
I think alot of YTers feel they have a sort of 'responsibility' so to speak to look out for each other's best interest and question things if they feel that something sounds 'off.' I think that many long time members here just have a greater sense of awareness having seen other members taken advantage of and they don't want to see it happen again. (Is that a
bad thing? I always thought it was one of the best aspects of YT, personally.) If they are wrong with their theories, then great--I think that truly they hope they are, but at least everyone was given the facts and the opportunity to decide for themselves.
I think that it is being misconstrued as people doubting the reality of Emma's condition and her fight, and I don't think that is the case. (Pictures don't lie, right?) I think that EVERYONE'S primary concern here is the health and well being and survival of that sweet little girl and I think that EVERYONE is pulling for her to make it through this. She SHOULD be the primary concern and it the most important thing at this moment and I am rooting for her too.
