Obviously. I think everyone knows this. And in light of the fact that there are indeed so many other discussion groups out there, I see no reason that there should not be one that supports "no-kill".

Ditto. If someone needs or wants to know how to cull their alpacas, there are plenty of other places to go. I don't want to open my digest every day wondering if I am going to be slapped in the face with what may be a common practice but is not one I care to know about or think about. Every animal that comes to live at my farm gets to stay until he/she dies, enjoying companionship and care every day, health care when needed, and then gets to be buried among his/her friends. I realize that is not the case for everyone. I also realize that sometimes hard decisions have to be made. But for someone to enter the group asking for that discussion right off the bat I suspect it to become a common thread. If so, I will stop coming here to visit with my other alpaca friends. I would be unhappy to fear opening an AlpacaTalk digest out of concern there may be a grizzly heartbreaking discussion going on. As I am on digest I don't get to pick and choose which posts I open.
My elderly matriarch has given me many years of love, affectionate, and pure enjoyment. She may be old, but I still love her.....regardless that her hair may be thinning......so is mine. She often walks with a limp these days. So do I many mornings. Whether she can make me any money or not matters not one whit to me. And trust me money is a huge issue for me these past few years....single unemployed mom homeschooling my kiddos.
I for one refuse to participate in FaceBook for many reasons. After so many years on this list, it is interesting that the subject of culling/slaughtering alpacas has just now arisen now that AlpacaTalk is on FB.
I do hope FB won't supercede this wonderfully caring yahoo group.
Warmly,
Janice
