Welcome to the official Orchard Animal Outreach blog, and my first foray into the world of blogging. I thought long and hard about what to call it. Possibilities included: The Vet's Lament, Weekly Rant, Whine and Hard Cheese Corner, but in the end, I changed my mind. Don't get me wrong, there will be plenty of lamenting, ranting and whining, but that won't be all.
I hope it will be a forum to get people thinking, to introduce new ideas, encourage new action. Just like our Facebook page, there will be some things that are uncomfortable to look at or think about, but just not looking doesn't make them go away. Sometimes it takes being nudged beyond our comfort zones to get us moving.
But there will also be triumphs among the tragedies, hopefully enough to keep us all going, because that's what we run on, hope.
Future topics will include but not be limited to:
Compassion fatigue, a real thing.
Vet's laments.
Animal shelters, who are they really sheltering?
No Kill initiatives, fact vs fiction.
Just to name a few. So we hope you become regular readers, we hope to inspire, stir things up, maybe even get some of you mad. Remember we are the same folks that brought you "No BS Spay and Neuter" and we still take a no nonsense approach when it comes to animals.
