Post by: egret on May 12, 2010, 02:26:35 PM
This tragic event in Newmarket
is heartbreaking

The poor animals
did not have a chance


they say 20 will be saved

but

Who knows what is what
when they say anything
anymore!

It does seem strange that so many animals have reached such an advanced stage of the disease, to the point where they have to be put down. Were they unable to diagnose the problem at the onset? I guess we'll slowly start to hear why this is happening.

For those that aren't sure what this is referring to, as was the case with me, the Newmarket OSPCA is putting down a bunch of animals because of a particularily nasty case of ringworms that has spread through their facility. Here's a couple references:

tks for your posts

apparently
they will be cancelling the Drive
that was planned for Sunday
now to have a funeral march or something
for the animals

think some have been saved
I have not TV
so have to go on line to see

very sad indeed

I know
my cats had ringworm
years ago and actually
I did get it too
had to go to emerg

it is nasty

but you'd think they have more of a handle
on things
