Be careful if you cross the feral cat freaks – they might protest your business, sue you, and drive you to suicide. Such was the sad fate of a New York City veterinarian who refused to release a stray cat she treated back to a feral cat freak who planned to release the cat back into a feral cat colony. Dr. Shirley Koshi was a woman who devoted her life to caring for animals and sought to prevent a cat from the miseries of living out-of-doors. She was cyber-bullied, her business was destroyed, and she took her own life.
Rest in peace, Dr. Shirley Koshi.

Love the blog. It’s part of my morning reading before I head out the door. That said, calling someone a freak regardless of their behavior takes you down a notch. I am not a feral cat fan, nor do I condone this person’s behavior, but you don’t need to resort to that type of thing to improve your point.
Keep it classy.
