I belong to most national railroads, I belong to special needs cats & dogs railroads, and my own personal cause is the lethal white australian shepherd. Those needs are peculiar to the genetic defects, and I can tell you, our screening is very strict.

To say you will be a part of a rescue and then keep an animal going to furrever is beyond belief.

Those of us who are so specific in our defect adoptions would never tolerate unreliableness.

I am being asked at this moment what do do and how to caution on a transport.

My reply:

We are now all unreliable. Thousands upon thousands of drivers have suddently become not just unreliable, but potential 'enemies'. The repercussions are huge and I am just sick about this turn of events.

The rescue railroads were borne of the internet. Hitherto, thousands upon thousands of now rescuable critters were destroyed because the railroads cannot exist by snail mail. My mailbox is full daily of special needs rescues and transports.

If ANYone questions my reliability because of this, you can better bet I will be naming names, issues, corridors and the like.

I have been asked to cross the newest 'adopter' to the DNR and DNA lists. Won't do it, not my issues, I have no standing. But folks MUST realize the repurcussions. Huge and will cost lives.
