alpacas: Re: [AlpacaTalk] Good-bye group

I replied privately but I'll do so publicly as well.

I'm sorry that you feel the most recent topic is nonsense. It is a very important issue in the alpaca industry. I felt it was very important to clarify points of fact, to give some stories of affected breeders that I know, and to quell any panic that was apparently being fomented.

Unfortunately, some have chosen to view my knowledge of specific CA crias as my own herd members being the parents of said crias.

I felt it was important to clarify that this is not so.

It just goes to show another sad fact in the industry, that some things are not to be spoken about. The assumption is that if you know anything specific, it must be your own farm you're talking about. That serves no one. If we're to have open and honest discussion about topics such as this, a person with first, second, or thirdhand knowledge of specific animals afflicted can't be painted as lying or hiding facts. I wonder how anyone else would react if it were them in this situation?

I think everyone ought to examine their thoughts and feelings and their own likely reactions if they were in the same position.

I'm sorry to go but am very tired of getting email after email of nonsense. I've posted a few times to a few of these alpaca groups with questions, but never seem to get anyone to answer. These pointless discussions that go on forever take up my email box and are ridiculous. I'm going to move on to more serious alpaca groups where my questions can be answered and there is less hostility.
