This item came to us from us from
and wanted to alert our readers.
Good afternoon,
We've received both good and bad news this afternoon.
Good news first; a neutral volunteer has indicated that the first draft of our proposal has been reviewed by some of the board and staff members and has been well received. It sounds as though the board is receptive to working with the shelter's supporters to come to a positive resolution.
The bad news is deeply troubling and we hope it will serve as a reminder that we can only effect positive change from a positive origin. The home of one staff/board member and office of another were vandalized last night in a very intimidating manner. We ask that everyone keep this in mind when attending and/or participating in the board meeting this evening. We all have an opportunity to contribute to a beneficial solution and we can accomplish a great deal with constructive communication and professionalism.
Thank you each for chosing to get involved in this way.
Some may disagree with IMHS's action concerning their ringworm outbreak but this reaction is just unacceptable for all of us that want the best outcome for the animals that IMHS serves. We encourage dialogue but hope that this type of action stops now. Many members of this site have offered resources and time to provide alternatives for IMHS, we encourage constructive input. This vandalism is not productive. 285bound condemns this action.
This is terrible! A friend that lives in the area told me about the vandalism and this is completely unacceptable. This has gotten out of hand............shame on you if you did this. I hope law enforcement finds you and IMHS presses charges. Seems to me that law enforcement should be present at the board meeting........
This is not good for any community - - - - - if you post or read here, please know that many of us do not condone this type of behavior.
Constructive disagreement is a great thing, and leads to improvement. However, vandalism or intimidation of any kind is totally non-productive and despicable.
I hope that the perpetrators will be caught, and prosecuted appropriately.
