I'm with Deborah on this. She did not diss you and say you don't have issues. She simply said you should be ashamed for encouraging someone to use that as a BS excuse to keep their animals and I agree with her. ESPECIALLY since you claim to seriously have these issues. Considering you have PTSD or whatever you have, you should be fairly upset when someone uses your condition to their benefit.
This is just like people who have handicap parking permits for no reason other than to have to no walk as far parking elsewhere.
