Karen,
You go ahead and vent. I lived in Texas for two years in my youth and
that was enough for the rest of my life. There are good people, as
well as thoughtless ones there too, some of our list members are from
Texas, after all, but I know what a Hell it is to be surrounded by
ignorant, irresponsible humans. I live in CA, a fairly progressive
state, but my immediate neighborhood is a nightmare for animal care and
concern. My head is bloody from banging it against brick walls trying
to educate people here. I do so pray that the next place you find
yourself in surrounds you with loving, like minded people. It's my
dream too. Texas will be losing a champion for good, when they lose
you.
Take heart, you are not alone,
Nina

I know Carrie personally and I am shocked and surprised. You
know I am disappointed with this entire state and the attitude towards
animals. Animal controls shooting strays, gas chambers.....just the
fact you can shoot a dog if its treat to chickens...why I am surprised
they have this attitude towards positives I will never know. I don't
know any rescue people in this area with a open mind about positives.
But then again Texas executes more people then the next five states
combined. Its about time they come out of the dark ages. I am moving
back east to be with my kids and hopefully its still the south but
maybe they will have a better attitude. I offered to fly my vet on my
buddy passes to a felv seminar and he declined. They simply are not
interested. I am from NY and they say we are cold and cruel but never
in my life have I ever been in a state that has little regard for human
or animal life. Write a hot check any you wont see the light of day for
a long time but commit animal abuse and you might get
probation.....sorry for venting. I watched the news last night about a
guy with a bunch of wolf hybrids. breeding them of course. They had
films of the wolves fighting....the great state of Texas has declared
that "they are just being wolves and doing the same thing they would be
doing in the wild." mean while the neighbors cant get any sleep with
all the noise. BREEDING WOLVES NEEDS TO BE ILLEGAL. There is something
seriously wrong with these people. The state seems to think if they
have food water and shade the man has a right to make a living.
God help these people for they know not what they do.
Karen
God help them all
