Unfortunately, the issue continues to be ongoing, with persons unknown spreading libel about me, telling local breeders that I was being targeted by the Animal Rights Advocates, and that anyone associated with me would also be targeted, and eventually raided. Later, that story changed to be that I am an ARA, and that I was lying about everything to collect information on breeders to pass along to other ARA's, again leading to any breeder being associated with me being raided.
Obviously, this was greatly upsetting to me, and it threw me into a bit of a downward spiral. I became obsessive about keeping my rabbits clean, scooping poop just about as fast as it came out of the rabbit, and leading to me doing nothing more than cleaning the rabbits. I was upset because of the contacts being lost, and people contacting me to tell me that they had been warned off talking to me.
At this point, I still do not know who is spreading these malicious rumours, however I have come to accept that it is bound to happen, what with me being a loudmouth and very outspoken. Everyone will be happy to know that I have yet to be contacted by anyone regarding the rabbits. While I continue to maintain my rabbits properly, and keep them at a reasonable level of cleanliness, I have come to terms with the fact that haters are going to hate, and that I will not be able to please everyone.
I am hoping to go forward with blogging in the next few days, and hope that I have not lost my readers because of this turn of events and lack of communication.
