I just had an issue with an add I replied to on craigslist. I let it go but my husband wanted me to call the police. Not sure what they could do. Basically the add was a cry for help titled ( Urgent Emergency care needed ) so since I have a fairly extensive background with animas, but specifically dogs in rescue, shelters, showing, rehabing, hospitals, plus my dad was a Vet, I replied.
The ad goes on to say that this woman found a dog half dead in the road and took it to the Vet. They said that the condition it was in was most likely to neglect and abuse. It has deformed legs and feet from being left in a crate too small, can't control it's urine or bowel movements, etc. However it has this incredible "hope" showing through. Ok, so my mistake was telling her that sometimes the best kind of love we can show is by having the dog euthansized. Oh boy. I knew it was an iffy chance ( and sorry if I have offended anyone here ) but with the condition she stated the dog in, I'm not sure what she wanted to do for it? It couldn't walk, control itself, etc. My heart did break for the suffering he's gone through.
Anyway, I get a reply back that quiet frankly my husband took as a threat. She dropped the "F" bomb every other word, telling me that I'm the type of person that is wrong with this world, I have not clue what I'm talking about. I'm this I'm that. This dog is a "fallen angel" and that if she sees me in person she will spit in my face! " Ok, so great I think.
Well, I let it go, I have not recieved anything else from her but I have learned my lesson. I also am concerned because evidentlly my husband said that when you e-mail, my name shows under properties, and our name is listed in the phone book. So I am keeping an eye out to see if this crazy person will come to my home and do anything.
So be careful out there using Craigslist my friends.
