I spent over two hours speaking with the owners of Guzoo, and while we have a long way to go to find a middle ground, I sincerely hope that it can be found somewhere.
As the rhetoric has died down, and Guzoo being given their licence back, this means that the campaign must evolve. How that evolution is to happen, I don't know. What I want truly is to see the animals kept in much better conditions for their well being. Zoo's need to strive to exceed the standard, not just try to make the bare minimum. When you take on such an endeavor as Guzoo has, there can be no cutting of corners.
On another subject entirely, this year has been the most successful for my personal rescue efforts, as we have rehomed over 12 dogs this past year, and today Wally the St. Bernard is finally getting his chance! He is meeting with his two, hopefully, soon to be buddies, and if all goes well, Wally will be in his forever home tonight! Fingers crossed!!!

One rude comment, but my blog has become a beehive of activity!
Boy has my lame little blog become busy! Went from 30 views to over 65 in one week! I'll add a picture of my stats, they are VERY interesting!!!
I just got my FIRST comment on my little blog. I noticed my profile views have gone up significantly, and I am so happy to see people interested in me, PTSD, childhood molestation, my rescue, as well as CCAAWPS - Council of Concerned Albertans for Animal Welfare and Public Safety- and our work. It is inspiring to say the least, although I am a little confused as to why only one person has commented, and it is on my Guzoo is Closed! post. Well, maybe not THAT confused!
These past months have been beyond challenging, but my fellow CCAAWPS admins, who have done more work than ever behind the scenes, have made it all worthwhile. Despite the judicial review, I am sure that the time and money we, the admins, put forth for the website and other expenses will be well worth it in the end. As well, it has catapulted us into a little spotlight here in Alberta, and we have raised a lot of awareness, I am so proud of our accomplishments while doing this entire campaign by funding it ourselves. I am very happy to announce that while we became a non profit a while ago, CCAAWPS will soon be able to offer memberships to those who want to help more and donate to our cause.
We are a family, diverse yet strong. We all have different views, yet we support each other regardless of tiny disagreements, I am so proud to say that the same people who started CCAAWPS are all still working and donating what money and time we can, while we see the supporters of the Guzoo slowly crumbling apart. And I am extremely proud to say we did it all without having to ask any CCAAWPS supporters for a dime.
Guzoo is, has, and until it is finally shutdown, will be the worst "zoo" I have ever seen. That is why so many people support us. Anyway, although I only got one rude comment, lol, and I have a pretty good idea who did it, thank you to all who have visited, don't be afraid to let yourself be known and leave a comment ;)
