New Charges to be filed against Tiger Ranch

[rebeccahowes]

I do not stop to think about whether I have too many to handle, I stop to think about how many more I can help. [I][U]

All cat lovers should feel this way. If you don't then you should question whether you really are a cat lover. You have a choice. Do I stop helping cats after a certain amount come to my home, or do I help every cat that come to my home. I would never, could never, turn one single solitary cat down in my life. That was Lin Marie at Tiger Ranch. Everyone took their strays and cats they did not want to deal with to Lin Marie. Now she is a bad person according to some peoples eyes. That is so sad. She did what any other cat lover would do. She really did not have options. She could not call the pounds. The pounds gave their cats to Lin Marie. If she said no to anyone, really, where would those cats go to. I know of people that drown their cats, drop them off at other peoples houses, and shoot them. They leave them out somewhere to starve and fend for themselves. Lin marie just tryed to give the cats and their owners hope and now she is a criminal. This just breaks my heart. Put yourself in her place. Could you, would you, turn down any cat that needs you? I never could.

To say that all persons should think like you is unreasonable and to accuse them of not being cat lovers is insulting. I can't be sure but I don't recall anyone calling Lin Marie a bad person. A misguided one, perhaps. I'm not going to continue to reply back and forth on this forum about my motives or anyone else's. And I'm not going to continue defending myself or my position. I don't have to. My record speaks for itself. Every one on PT that has posted regarding this situation at Tiger Ranch has been doing cat rescue for years, probably longer than you have, and they probably have more experience than you do, too. You don't know everything; none of us do but most of us are adult enough to realize that and we humbly learn from others and don't insist that others think as we do and insult them when they choose to do things differently. Take a lesson from those of us who have been there.
