This letter to all of you is the most difficult thing I have had to do in a long time. I hope that you can understand . This yr. has taken quite a toll on me emotionally, physically, and financially. I have been so disheartened by the attitudes of people towards animals, wild and domestic, exotic and pets. I have been deeply discouraged. So much so that there were a couple months that I have seriously given thought to just walking away from the sorrow and the constant fight to save animals. To educate, to care. I have cried for the loss of the lynx til I have no tears left. Baby Spirit Summers Warrior died in my hands, even with the best medical care and all of science's technology, with all the resources we have at our disposal, :"life and death" are not ours to determine. I have experienced MUCH this past yr. And I have learned MUCH! I am still learning. And , if you are reading this letter, you know that , after much relection and deep soul searching, I am still staying in the front lines of battle in this ongoing war to help animals of all species have a better quality of life and a better future. I will continue with the educational programming as we can afford to. I will continue helping cats as well as people , directly as well as indirectly. And TRAPPER, as long as I breathe, I will protect his life!
