Subject: WOW people, whats with the attacks on someone who was just asking a question.... Posted by CandiMI on June 23, 1999 at 09:01:25: In Reply to: self neutering... "tie-off" method...anyone heard of this or done it? posted by CandiMI on June 22, 1999 at 18:10:35: I must admit that I'm litterally shocked and hurt by a couple of the responses I received... If you'd read my posting carefully you'd see that I myself thought this sounded awful and painful to the glider, and I have no intention of neutering him this way... but it was such a strange thing for me to hear, especially comming from a registared breeder and his vet, that I wanted to know if other people were actually doing this and everyones thoughts on it... anyone who's read my postings knows how much I love my gliders and the joeys that I've been hand feeding since May 12th, every 4 hours all night and day... I would never do ANYTHING to hurt my babies... cussing me out by telling me what I deserve if I'm " too cheap " or shouldn't have even gotten gliders is just rude! I'm not trying to start an arguement, but this is the first time I've been on the receiving end of wrongful postings... this board is here for glider owners and those interested in them to ask questions and discuss related topics... which was all I was trying to do... I completely agree with you that it sounds painful and inhumane, but I felt that bringing it to the attention of other glider owners for a discussion would be a good thing, especially since it was something I had never heard of before... the more knowledge we have on gliders and what people are doing to/with them ( the good and bad ) the better we are equipped to care for our little ones! Please, even if a topic upsets you as I knew this one would, attack the process ... not the person who is trying to discuss it! Thanks again.. Special thank you to Betsy for her email response to this... very well written, maybe you wouldn't mind posting it?
