Would appreciate advice from the Kings of the Road out there

Where is this accusation that I don’t care animals coming from?

Why would I contact the shelter when they are the ones who have him fooled into thinking that this is a noble and worthy cause?

 

Thank you, @bigguns.

I shall do my very best.

 

My mistake. I’ve been incredibly ill and it’s difficult to keep up with every post and name on here. I do in fact remember your post and what you had to say. You were one of the members (what with your sister’s personal involvement) that I used as a example when I was screaming my head off at him.

My friend and I just had a very long discussion about this organization and as I’ve pointed out before, he has a extensive resume of working with animals, law enforcement, etc. Animal welfare is not a joke to him.

Without going into exhaustive detail, he has reviewed the financials of the org, the issues with the city’s failure to follow through on promised obligations, and did in fact bring up the safety issues involved with animal transport.

So, some of what I was trying to convey from the advice given here was in fact taken into consideration and communicated.

Apparently this women is not only working for free, but at her own great expense.

He explained that in order to in enact real and positive change, you cannot just go screaming bloody murder (as I was prepared to do) and try to figuratively burn an organization to the ground because you only see the negatives from the outside and none of what is happening internally.

I don’t know how much detail to go into, but he does understand that these drivers need to drive as safely as possible and the animals transported as safely as possible.

So I did get through to him, to my shock and amazement.

While I was rabidly interjecting earlier that it would not help the organization in the meantime to have one of these teams currently making these mission impossible runs to cause a brutal accident, he said that in order to change the current way of operation, he would need to make the trip himself to determine the unsafe nature of it, and then take action from there.

He’s still not sure if he wants the position and commitment of the much higher role the organization wants him for, as it will take a great deal of time and effort to make sure everything is up to snuff.

I was so blinded by fury, I was fact ready to wash my hands of all of it, including him.

I’m just some random dead trucker’s daughter who, if I went to media or the state, would look like a lunatic and sabotage what seems to be a group of people trying their very best to do with the means they have, currently.

Maybe it was a big mistake to start popping off on here, when he and I were not seeing eye-to-eye.

I felt my concerns were not being heard, when he in fact did hear them, and did communicate them.

In any case, he and I have cleared up our misunderstandings and communication issues, and once again, he’s not sure he’s ready for kind of intense involvement would this will require.

Life has been beating me into the ground, and I’m just fighting to survive at the moment while my health is suffering.

@MACK E-6, maybe I’ll have a listen.

Right now, I just want to be at peace and not constantly being embroiled in conflict.

I feel like Don Quixote fighting at windmills, both real and imagined, and sad that I am unable to do anything substantial about all that is happening on the world.

To quote Ten Year’s After: “I'd love to change the world-but I don't know what to do.”

 

Gentleman (and any ladies aboard):

I’m back to very unhappily report that this man was indeed NO FRIEND.

I do not wish to post the gory details of what he has done publicly, but will if necessary.

I cut contact nearly two years ago and he is still terrorizing me via the Internet.

You all were right about him.

If someone could direct me to a staff member?

I have already privately messaged a kindly trucker whom I talked with before…

Sadly?

Bumping.

If something happens to me?

I want it to be known that law enforcement was informed and did nothing to stop him.
