I would imagine that anyone visiting this area of Pet Talk, for the first time, after all of these posts have been made would probably be shocked at what they read. But isn't that why this area was created? It's a separate area that we already know was put here for controversial subjects, where people are bound to have opposing views. All Karen and Paul are trying to do is to monitor it, carefully, to make sure that it is being used for the purpose it was intended and that it doesn't get out of hand. And it is up to them, as owners/moderators of this whole forum to make judgement on things that they think are out of line. If we don't like how they do that, no one is forcing us to read this part of Pet Talk, or any of it, for that matter.

This would be a pretty boring world if we all thought and acted alike. Personally, I appreciate the different views, even if I don't always agree.

I hope things can get back on track here, and we can have spirited, yet respectful discussions.
