I realize what PETA is trying to do with the propend legislation, but it doesn't negate the conditions at Caboodle, nor how the creep took money for personal use even though at the same time he was paying himself a hefty salary! He may have started with good intentions, but obviously abandoned them down the line.
I always questioned the logistics of such an "open" type cat rescue group - how does one keep them all inside, how does one keep track of them, and what would stop anyone from dumping new and possibly sick cats..and much more. PETA has also been going after a hospice-type group in NY state called Angel's Gate; they take in FeLV/FIV, terminally ill and very handicapped animals - of course, visiting such a place is never the same as seeing healthy animals for adoption. FoA is fully backing Angel Gate's work, and I can truly appreciate how much different it is caring for healthy versus only sick animals, from my own experience. As much as I appreciate much of PETA's work, some of their work is extremely questionable, and Ingrid Newkirk originally came from managing a kill shelter, never abandoning her serious kill convictions!.

I can't say which side is right--my guess would be neither and that the truth lies somewhere in between, however, PETA is absolutely using this case to try to fight the Florida Animal Rescue Act and for me, their involvement really skews things. Again though just posting since this case has been discussed here. Thanks! http://caboodleranch.livejournal.com/43479.html
