To The Media … when we decided to go to the media there were some that warned us that we would be opening ourselves up to a lot of criticism as there are those that do not believe that places such as ours should exist. We didn't give a damn. We know that we are fully licensed, we know that our animals are well cared for and we only wanted Wendell home. We decided that if we had to take some criticism to accomplish that end, then so be it. Well, we have had nothing but great things to say about the media. We have had no negative experiences with them but rather have had nothing but 100% support from the many newspapers and radio/television stations that reported on our situation. In fact, since the reporting of his death we have had numerous phone calls from media offering their condolences … not looking for an interview, just calling to express there sincere feelings of sorrow. Thank you all

To those of you that have contributed to the perimeter fencing fund so that we and our critters never have to live this nightmare again. Thank you

To All the rest of you … far too many to name and in some cases we didn’t even have a chance to learn your names, but you were so supportive in your notes, your phone calls, your emails, your thoughts. Thank you
