Collecting Cat Forensic Evidence

Although I was unable to view the video from the Elk County cat rescue, I really don't need to, I was there. As a board member and full-time volunteer at the shelter, I was shocked that the team stormed in without having conducted an investigation beforehand. We were told to leave, and traumatized as we were, that is what we did. Imagine our surprise and shock to hear on the news, and in this article, that they drew conclusions the way they wished. Had we been there, many of the statements made in this article could have been avoided, simply by asking us questions.
There are two sides to every story, and everyone, including Cat Fancy Magazine, seems perfectly content only hearing the side of the ASPCA. It does, after all, make better news. We opted not to make their seizure of our cats a media war, but apparently we should have.
Also, check back issues of the Miami Florida Herald newspaper to see contradictory comments about Dr. Merck's reliability as an "expert" witness.
If our shelter had been even remotely like we weree portrayed in the media, I would never have been involved with it. If fact, I would have been there helping them load up the cats.
