Well, it has been a day of distress. Added to the fact we have spent all morning trying to close our credit card account, another thread, I have lost it with somebody on another forum.
We are on a local environmental forum, where lots of people grow their own meat, take pride in caring for it and see the 'process' through to the end. Its not something I could do but at least if they want to eat meat they are doing it ( to my mind ) the most ethical way they can.
However, somebody was enquiring about angora rabbits for fur and I wrote , in length about neutering, vaccination, vet bills, feeding, bedding etc, probably in a negative way, as I was concerned about how aware they were about rabbits.
Somebody 'who has kept rabbits for years' has written is saying how much bad luck we have had (in a patronising manner, like we are bad rabbit owners) and she has never had those problems as she has them PTS, rather than put them through an op and its not that hard to keep angoras.
I wrote, politely, saying that having been on the receiving end of so many rescues that I had a right to make people aware of rabbit welfare and that as rabbits were the 3rd most popular pet, rabbit care and welfare had moved on since she had started keeping them.
I am so angry.:evil::evil::evil:
