To whom it may concern:

I have decided to leave this group for three reasons.

1. This group is not very active anymore. I do appreciate the wealth
of knowledge and kindness some of you have provided.

2. Someone on this group had me take in 10 rats because this person
is "disabled" and could not care for them anymore (I will not even
comment on the shape the rats were in when I got them) and now one
of
their rats has had babies? This sickens me.

3. A rat murderer who has been banned from many rat lists and groups
continues to run a "shelter" of horrors where he (untrained)
continues to perform horrible surgeries on the rats himself. He has
stated on many lists that he kills some of the rats when he is
overwhelmed.

Proof of #3 can be found in many archives of many of the other rat
lists and groups. I have also had conversations with this person
over the phone and was privy to certain information so in no way is
this just a rumor.
