Subject: DANGEROUS advice on biting
Posted by Bourbon on August 23, 1998 at 03:21:24:
I guess I don't need to tell anyone else how I feel about this subject.. I look at gliders more along the lines of having the attention needs (including patience) as a newborn child just coming from the womb into a very strange cruel world. They have the attitudes of a determined Teenager. Keeping that in mind there are things that new mothers have no idea what to do in certain case without the aid of someone who knows. As a child may be colic-y a glider may bite..I certainly wouldn't hold my infant child under running water or hit him for any reason, as far as I am concerned if Terry offers this advice to others, it makes me believe that he/she doesn't have the patience, or understanding REGARDLESS of how long he/she has owned/bred gliders. In my opinion the ONLY reason I still even post here after hearing the advice that was given, is that it scares me to death the advice that a new glider owner may get. I would much rather spend a little time to help the species.. but we are going to start to hear more and more of this.. TOO many newbies are getting 1 persons advice and taking it as gosple. If it is any consolation. I email Tanis privately and told her NOT to listen to a word Terry had to say. She said it sounded too cruel to her so she would wait patiently. Please all of you all here. Keep an eye out for similar posts. Don't use the same subject title and state you opinion. If it is Dangerous don't worry about being Flamed, at least YOU can sleep at night knowing that at least you tried..Too P.O.'ed to care if I get thrown off of here. I don't care how bonded you are to your glider, 1 tiny bit of negetive reinforcement with throgh the bonding process to the beginning and the chances of rebuilding the trust would be slim to nil, There is no substitute for Love, patience, understanding, perservance and TRUST..
