How conveient is this

Old-Biscuit, thanks for the link. I couldn't figure out where the original post was!

I don't read anything from RV-Pets! Too many stories about loved pets dying! Each one tears me up! So I stay away from this forum completely now!

The suggestion to contact your representative takes the locked thread down a political path. What if I agree with the new policy! Which I don't just playing devil's advocate....
Allowing moderators to moderate their own post(for whatever reason is questionable policy) I have no dog,cat or other research animal in this fight just throwing in my 2 cents.

Two points:

There is another moderator on this board, if inappropriate Admin will override me and delete or close threads/posts as necessary.

The reason to contact representative is NOT political. It is the only way we have in a democracy (other than filing suit in court) to affect change in policy.

This thread kind of proves my reasoning to not leave the thread open for comment.

Having spent over 40 years of my life devoted to animal welfare, I thought it important to share information of a situation that will serve to set back the cause of animal welfare. It has absolutely nothing to do with politics and any attempt to make it so is just an effort to obscure the facts.

Most who frequent this board are very interested in or active in animal welfare, whether it be having a rescue pet or fostering animals or active participation in rescue organizations or just loving their own pets.

I'm going to leave this open for now, it seems that some have a overwhelming urge to comment, so if it stays on topic and civil we'll leave it.

Well said. It's rather mind boggling that a post about an animal welfare issue on a pet forum could or would be deemed controversial or inappropriate.

I agree with Dr Doug and Pawz. Information that is necessary should be able to be shared without constant arguments. Some people have to argue about everything.

I don't see anything political about the post, just information. If left open it would have turned political.
