I agree with you that the NH Humane Society folks, while well intentioned, had an edge in their response to this situation, especially considering the fact that the Winnipesaukee.com web site has contributed money to their organization in the past and Chickie's comment was not mean spirited. Nothing egregious, just an edge. The irony is that the old couple who owned 25+ cats should have never been able to horde animals but doing something about the situation while they were still alive would have been viewed as politically incorrect.

You would have an edge also if the quote below had secondcurve inserted for The Humane Society.
"The Humane Society was purportedly contacted, but they have done nothing to rescue them"..

Its appears that just the opposite occurred.

Chickie's intentions are undenialble but a lesson here should be learned to not throw stones around before seeing where they might land.

My point is that Di Maria, while setting the record straight in the newspaper article, could have taken a more positive approach and noted that well intended Winnipesaukee.com posters misinterpreted and then misreported the facts in their haste to ensure the cats in question were being well cared for. She could have also added that the Winnipesaukee.com site has generously contributed financially to her organization's efforts in the past, underscoring the validity of the Humane Society. It's just a question of approach. Had the comments been intentionally defaming the Humane Society's reputation a harsher tone might have been warranted but I don't think that was the case here.
