Comment Guidelines 02/08/10

This blog-site was created as an outreach tool for Higher Ground-Animal Advocacy. The goal of the site is to raise awareness and understanding of a broad range of animals, and to bring insight to local animal issues. This blog inherently calls for all of us to take a second look at our relationship with animals.

This particular thread addresses the situation with T.E.A.R.S. It is meant to be informative and investigative.

So much negative feedback has been received from readers about the comments of this thread in recent weeks, that it is time for a change.

It is the belief of the blog owner that most reader comments will enhance the experience for all readers, by offering insights that may be otherwise overlooked. Positive as well as negative comments will be considered. 

Newspapers and magazines don’t publish every letter that is sent to them, nor do radio talk-shows allow ever caller on the air. Only comments that add value to the blog will be seen publicly.

It’s a new day. Your comments, within the ‘comment guidelines’, are welcomed.
