Shadow past away

[Janfromboone]

That breeder makes me sick. He should suffer like he made that little bird and you suffer.

I am so so sorry to hear about your loss.

Please file a formal complaint so HOPEFULLY this will not happen to anyone else.

I can't stop crying. You have been through such an emotional roller-coaster ever since you brought Shadow home. You don't bear any blame here. Only someone who cares deeply would be so shattered by this experience. It's been clear from the start that you were doing everything you could to make Shadow's life a healthy and happy one. Even though he was clearly in distress, animals know when they are in the presence of someone who loves and cares for them and his life, however unfairly short, was better because of your place in it.

 

When you gather up some energy again please do try to spread the word about this so-called breeder. Have your vet write up a report that makes it clear Shadow came to you straight from the breeder with metal poisoning, and that he was probably born with it, then take that information and what you went through while you had him to anyone with any authority or interest in animal welfare. This case is so awful you might even contact someone in media. Try a small local paper in your, or the breeder's, area. Many neighbourhood papers will take on a human interest story like this when larger publications will not. Remember, it isn't defamation if what you are saying is true!

 

You can get through this, and I agree with others here who have said there is a grey soul out there for you and your family. Please do continue as a member here. The grey community needs people like you who care and educate themselves about our precious birds.
