emancipet is quite a well-known mobile spay/neuter program in texas--with, as far as i've ever heard, a really good, transparent reputation until now.
it really surprised me that a group that was so well respected would do this, especially in a place where the tensions are so well-known. i was im'ing last night with a friend in southern california, asking her about contacts in TX--she's mostly a feral rescuer, and was active in the hartz flea-product stuff (ie, not the crowds i generally hang with.) told her some of the what was going on, and she im'd someone else she knew to see if they had any contacts in austin: what she got back, IMMEDIATELY, was, "there's a bad shelter there...." impossible to know, at this point, what the motivation was..... personally, i wouldn't do anything to jeopardize kelley's chances of reclaiming her kitties -- so while i might contact emancipet about this AFTER the hearing, since i don't know what's behind it all..... me On Apr 21, 1988 11:28 PM, Gloria Bronte Lane <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Absolutely.
