I truly take offense of organizations and people who use pictures I took of the WAO animals for their own personal / "political" purposes!
Case in point. A friend of mine just alerted me of this posting on Facebook today!
Diane Gustafson shared WWA Animal Awareness's photo.
Thankfully cooler heads prevailed in contacting and responding to these folks; my comments would not have been as diplomatic. I am very disappointed in Diane's comments, though. The truth should always be the cornerstone of any message. If you have to lie, then you have no message at all.
So-called "animal rights" groups make a fortune separating fools from their hard earned monies -- just post a picture from goodness knows where, with inflammatory comments meant to stir your heartstrings , and hope that no one recognizes where the picture really came from....and viola! The donations start rolling in...and people start calling their legislators!
This is the second time I have seen MY picture, this SAME picture posted on FB without my permission. This better stop else I will have to contact FB for copyright infringement and fraud. I will not allow people to continue to exploit the former WAO animals for propaganda material-- you can say that seven years of pursuing this case has made me a little cranky in this regards!
