lesley

thank you for your help with the white gsd.this was our first contact with you indirectly. Nant y Corn works with the North Wales Police.,Gwynedd,Conwy and Anglesey Borough Councils.We are all concerned about the plight of stray dogs.Please do not not pat yourself on the the back for saving this dog if you are running a charity , because this is never over , it is commendable for anyone taking on a stray dog,and dont appeal to others as a charity if you only save a couple a year.We have an individual that saves 15 dogs a month and she is not a charity.We as a business keep dogs far beyond what is beyond what is required because the councils can not pay for this as it is Englands Law.We as a business save 800 dogs a year from being destroyed,

Yours faithfully

I cannot believe Paul's comments. Lesley's Charity is called Freshfields. She started it 30 years ago and last year re-homed over 1500 animals. I cannot even begin to tell you how many obstacles she has overcome to get where she is and she is so selfless that 'pats on the back' do not even come into it. Saving lives is not a competition and if it was your life that was saved, Paul, the tone of your reply would be probably be very different. Unfortunately Animals do not have much of a voice in this Society eben though all life is sacred.

However, I would like to give Paul a big 'Thank you' for saving 800 dogs a year from being destroyed. As you say, this is never over, but please do not take your anger out on Lesley. That is totally mis-directed. Barry
