I read a recent post where someone requested help. Their circumstance was such that vet care seemed to be out of reach. At the risk of offending someone on the list I still feel the need to comment on the responses that were posted to that person.
When help is searched out comments about how you are being *cruel or inhuman* by not seeking vet care, to me area bit out of line. A gentle reminder that its our responsibility to seek help would be okay, but do we really want to alienate someone that is seeking help and may NOTbe able to afford vet care?. We really risk losing that person and what help we CAN offer to the bun in question. Ideally, all people raising animals have the means of providing care. But that isn't the real world and there are many animals that we can offer help to on this board that may not be able to get other care.Please don't bash someone seeking assistance!
I'm sorry if this is offensive to anyone. Its not my intention to point fingers or hurt feelings. Its my opinion. Thanks for allowing me to express it. Vicki
