Same here.
Of course, the flipside is being torched on a subject you do know something about and the person flaming you hasn't a clue.
Worst case is when you prove they don't have a clue, and they keep flaming you anyway.
I've had that repeatedly on these threads.
[surely you recall the gal who said all the NO dogs had "gone feral" in a mere 2 weeks and were attacking people?...whatta wack job she was]
At that point, I simply disengage because I refuse to fight a battle of wits with an unarmed poster.
Here's good news from the other thread;
Hello everyone. This was cross posted on another website to which I belong. I have emailed the news station, HSUS and will send one to the Independence shelter.
As someone with paralegal training I can tell you that a contract is void under various circumstances. One of those circumstances signing a contract under duress which apparently is what this poor man did. If he went to court the chances are very good he would win his dog back from the heartless woman who took advantage of him.
Also it appears that it wasn't an apartment that denied him permission to keep his dog with him, it was his own relatives for whatever reasons didn't want to take the dog in forcing him to surrender Shuma. I hope they fight with him for the return of the dog.
The fact that he trained the dog as a service dog rather than a professional having done it shouldn't make the dog any less a service dog.
This awful woman is teaching her children it's okay to lie and cheat and steal along with breaking an already pretty emotional broken human being. Sadly they will probably grow up to be the type of uncaring selfish person she is.
This whole sad story may also cause people to mistrust animal shelters; espcially in times of crisis such as hurricane Katrina.
