Although I feel for the woman, if you don't know the situation, call Animal Control!! While she was probably right that the dog was neglected, she cannot take the law into her own hands. I had adopted a puppy from the Animal Control one time. We took her to the vet the same day and had all her shots taken care off, but the very next day she got terribly ill. She had distemper. The vet gave her a 50/50 chance and we decided to fight for her.

They told us that they were concerned but wanted to find out more before calling animal control. Once we explained the situation, they were glad and we actually became very good friends.

I'm sorry that you are so dissatisfied and have been unable to get things resolved. It is difficult to see that someone has such bad feelings that one would try so hard to bring an organization down which has been working so hard to do a good thing. Are you keeping these horses best interest in mind? Isn't this what matters? Was this really worth it for you, for the horses? Are these people really intentionally putting horses in danger? Could you just have gone on to other things if you have a difference in opinion? Is this just about the evacuation? My family has been through Katrina, Rita, Gustav, and Ike, and while evacuation was always on our mind. You try to make the best decision possible under the circumstances. I just recently heard of someone trying to close down the German Shepherd Rescue from which we adopted a year ago., noting that she had the dogs best interest in mind. It is hard to imagine, because if it wasn't for the rescue, over 300 GSD would be dead and many more would not have ever had a chance at adoption. It is always easier to criticize than to actually work hard on making things better. Unless animals are truly neglegted or mistreated, who are we to criticize? Read Less
