My post wasn't directed at Lilavati, although she may think what Tammy did was wrong, she can understand why she did it. It was however directed at the others who continue to scream that Tammy was a thief, no ifs ands or buts. So thank you for taking the time to answer DryCreek.
Is it so hard to believe that maybe Tammy really thought that she was doing the right thing? Why do you immediatley assume that she is making up her story? Why is it so hard to believe that someone has true compassion for animals and couldn't stand to see the dog suffer anymore than it already had. And yes, I know you are going to come back with the whole "you don't know that the dog was suffering story...". And you are right, I don't know, but when I see those pictures of that poor dog I certainly don't get the impression that everything is alright, and I certainly don't get that impression when I viewed the you tube clip.
Sometimes we have to stop the battle of was it legally right or wrong, should legislation be in place, yadda yadda yadda, and look at one case at a time and see if morally things are ok. I think that Tammy did a wonderful thing, and am seriously blown away that people choose to immediatley act suspicious and believe the worst.
DryCreek, you yourself said it, maybe she didn't go about things the right way, and absolutley no one is claiming that she did, but her intentions were good (if one chooses to believe her side), ethical, and compassionate. I choose to believe that she was acting out of best interest, people involved in rescue hardly have the time or money to help animals they do not believe need immediate help.
So with all of this said, can we all agree that maybe her actions weren't the best, but her intentions were?
