Re: Disaster!
jo,
that's where we each read this thread differently. you read it as someone being abusive or disrespectful to a critter. i read it as people being abusive and disrespectful to another person.
in recent threads... specifically since december... i've read many threads which (from my perspective) other members are jumping all over each other. it's sad... cause everyone seems to be much more negative than they were before or (again my opinion) they need to be.
i'm sorry the spider smilie upset you and offended you.
in light,

Animals need our defense and protection. People can fend for themselves.

Re: Disaster!
Personally, I don't see where throwing a cat outside for an hour is "inhumane" or "abusive". These are words used to play on emotions when no harm was actually done. Now, if some sort of ACTUAL.....read that word and savor it, people....harm had been done to the animal, there might be a case for the harsh words words used in this thread. But no harm was done, which seems to have escaped some people.
Seriously people, use that energy to fight for a real cause, not to be internet warriors.
The cat was outside for an hour. Oh, the horror. Somebody call PETA!

Re: Disaster!
Sarah making comments about words used specifically to play on reader's emotions while you are doing the same in your post, well it just doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Re: Disaster!
Well Jo, nothing about this thread makes much sense to me, period. You pointed out that the original post wasn't asking for help, and ignored the fact that the OP said she already felt "sooo bad". And yet you and others felt it was somehow necessary to beat her into the ground over something she has freely admitted was a mistake.
Four pages later you say your issue is with the fact that she blamed the cat and then admitted it was her own fault. Well, what else would you have her do? Honestly, she made a mistake, she owned up to it, and then she was told she should never own animals. I see this as an overreaction.

Wrong. The issue from the start was the blaming and punishment of the cat. People need to buck up and take responsibility for their actions instead of blaming those that take them to task on it. Peace and love and coddling and puppy dogs isn't the way sometimes.

SARAHMB, if you do ever need to vent or talk about mistakes that have been made and don't feel comfortable here, there are other message boards out there that are a little less harsh about us "animal abusers"..lol.

Actually, she did in fact take responsibility in post 14, which was her second post in the thread.
Wolfsnaps, you're welcome and thanks for the suggestion. I'm not sure if I'm already signed up on that forum, but I'll check.

Re: Disaster!
I think there is a double standard on this board.
If someone were to say 'my snake bit me so I turned off his heat because I was mad' I think there would be a lot more people agreeing that it is not good.
Yet, when someone says a cat is thrown out in the cold it's ok.
You all may not be cat/dog/whatever animal lovers but every animal deserves the same respect.
