This is a partial copy of an e-mail I sent out:

You want to know what I am amazed at?

How many times I read these discussions about people that do "rescue" & usually NOT one person on the forum has committed any true time to the place being discussed/bashed/ or commended.

I am even more truly amazed as to why I keep wondering about it?

Have you ever wondered about that?

Remember this one?

It's a sad state **** when no one will help seeing that someone is overwhelmed... I do NOT believe Lin Marie is or was a bad person as I do NOT believe Sara Whalen was, either...

Even **** ******* of **** couldn't wait to send out releases about what they saw there, as many others did also, but when she was alive fighting cancer for 2 years people kept dumping animals on her.

Something like this happening is on a much different level then this:

Or This:

I really hope & pray the truth comes out & I am quite concerned if Linn Marie is out of jail & pray to God she isn't left alone... I worry...

No doubt she's rec'd 1,000's of e-mails, hate phone calls & who knows what vigilante has shown up to say something to put her over the edge... brings tears to my eyes wondering how she is doing.

& why people are now aiming their misguided anger at ***... when 9 other states,was it?, were sending there also...

Read on another forum that a kill shelter from Easton, PA sent felines there continually!

***
There aren't any easy answers to any of this but there might be future preventions...

Please take the time to get involved to "help" on a regular committed basis...

Rescue is hard work! Physically, financially, emotionally & spiritually rescue can be draining when there are more "arm chair rescuers" then there are soldiers in the trenches.

Please become physically involved on a regular basis somewhere, today.

Being committed to a certain time frame for volunteering might just help to run a place like a well oiled machine.

Now to those of you who are wondering do I "know" Lin Marie(?)....

The answer is "no"... I live much too far away from her as I did from Sara Whalen... for the record neither place have I ever sent an animal to.

Am I rescue? Yes... had I known about all of the places that needed help before I decided to start my own rescue I would never have started my own...

You ask "Why"?:

There's no need for it as I have seen through the years but there is an over abundance of need in places that already exist...

Please help us to continue our work in the "trenches" by helping us on a physical level.

Thank You
