What is the name of your state? Georgia
Hi, I was wondering if someone could read this e-mail that I accidentally mass-emailed to my college and tell me whether or not this is libel! I can only see where I asserted one fact, about the cat not being sick when he entered the shelter. I said this because I visited this particular cat 2 weeks prior to putting in my adoption forms -- and he was not sick. When I visited the shelter a number of times, I saw infected cats still left in the cages that were sneezing all over the place, runny eyes, etc. People were also letting the cats out of the cages to run loose... Basically, I truly believe in my heart that everything I said was the truth, and I am genuinely concerned for these animals. Anyway, please read my letter, and tell me if you think it's libel or not. (I removed the name of the animal shelter on this post for my protection)
No offense, because I feel that what you're trying to do is very
>> noble, but I have a lot of beef with **********.
