Finally, an article that is completely objective yet completely truthful at the same time! This is the first article I have read that really made sense to me and truly "got" the story.

This is becoming more and more prevelant.Somethings are being done, but not enough. We must show the public that these people cannot get away with these situations..and I do not mean simple smacks on the hands. I mean PRISON. Cats, kittens, dogs, all animals have no defense whatsoever against horrendously ill people like this. They are defenseless. I do not know that answer, but I go on record stating that I shall do anything that I am able to do to assist in this horrendous mess. I foster cats,kittens. Most are not wanted, abused,etc. It breaks my heart and we all, in our little group, work very,very hard to find homes.There are not enough. I own eight cats..and would own more if I could. I take usually the ones that needed help and no one wanted them. Please keep posting me and keep me in the loop. Thank you and God Bless all of you out there striving to make the public see what's going on by steping up, voicing openions and simply,saving the little ones.

IF this article were objective, the following statement would NOT have been written:

"Disease was prevalent on the site, including symptoms of virulent systemic calicivirus, which is similar to Ebola in humans, and characterized by inflammation of blood vessels and possibly internal hemorrhaging with a mortality rate of 40-60 percent in adult felines,"

Not only is FCV Common, OFTEN the CATS ARE A-SYMPTOMATIC! Most recover and become carriers.

Furthermore, linking it with Ebola in humans, is DELIBERATE MIS-INFORMATION! There is an agenda here!

Ebola and FCV are NOT LINKED, or SIMILAR! One is a predominantly respiratory illness, the other mainly gastrointestinal symptoms, with internal & external Bleeding.

The following links, all deal with the subject of "virulent systemic calicivirus":

This link deals with Ebola:

It is time to stop the disinformation and propaganda, and wait for the trial. REMEMBER, INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY!
