<<The national coordinator of Pyrangel <snip>

I really did intend to let this go but this statement is simply not true.
Most all organized rescue groups in this country from sea to sea and border
to border can attest to the involvement, often interference, of the Pyrangel
network in rescue in their area.  From taking dogs out of shelters to
placing rescues in an area where every adoptive home is precious to the
group in that area. Where is "here" as in "plenty here"?  You talk about
Joan as the "national coordinator" which surely does not sound like any
geographically limited "here".

<<The reason, the only
reason Pyrangel stepped in here was because the dog was nearly out of
time.>>

And just perhaps with good reason which nobody seemed interested enough to
find out.

<<If saving even one dog makes no difference to your view of reality than so
be it.>>

Saving one dog absolutely matters to me.  Trying to save them all is
fruitless. All rescue is triage.  Those who do not learn this burn out.  And
burn out is high in rescue.  Much of what Joe says about the "monster" is
right on.
