Thanks again Ashley, but a mere letter seems so little in reality, still one has to have the beliefs that mine and others emails do indeed make a difference, otherwise what would be the point of anything.

PLEASE let me stress this is not about me or my feelings, except for my feelings about the plight of these dogs, and I am just happy to hear that indeed lots more letters were sent than I had knowledge of ,and for that I apologise to anyone who may have mis-understood what I was trying to say. I would never intentionally go out of my way to upset anyone else's feelings.
