gemma85 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) Tbh, my sister Carly & myself was surprised and disappointed to learn that there was a petting zoo there. We are also disappointed to see that certain posts have been removed from this topic. We ourselves have strong opinions regarding this issue and will be emailing SM directly as clearly, anything that is not agreed with or deemed to be putting SM in possible bad light regarding this issue is removed. We just hope that this DOES NOT happen again at future events. Edited February 23, 2011 by gemma85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfman Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 well. finally i got made a profile in here, should have done that before ET5 but hey beter late thsn newer right :) i choose the skunk becourse it reminds me of my own skunk i had, it died in my arms becourse it got sick, and i sat with it to the last minute when i saw this little fella, it was almost as Tarzan (that was her name) was back...i know it wasnt the same skunk but the colors was almost the same.

Sarah_Cullen Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 As most of my comments have been deleted (including my nice ones). I just want to say thank you again to anyone/everyone who supported me (whether by setting the story straight so I was no longer concerned, or those who felt the same concerns and spoke up for me.) I will try not to express any future concerns on here, but approach a member of staff at the time (to those I recognise, I will see you at ET6, but hopefully with only praise as normal, not concerns) xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnfullegar Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I think David summed this up perfectly before when he commented around 2 people can view the same activity from different perspectives or mindsets and can have a totally different view on it. This dies not make what either party says untrue, is merely a different inturpretation if the same event. I would love to see a petting zoo again in the future safe in the knowledge that showmasters really do have the best interests of the animals at heart, maybe if the zoo had some flyers/leaflets nearby promoting the good work they do it would serve 2 purposes, one people would have concerns addressed proactively and 2) maybe they would receive donations from what is after all a lovely bunch of people :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xkleex Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I understand some peoples concerns, and after reading the posts that were removed before hand. I am satisfied it was a respectable organisation. Saying that I was soooooo drunk after gold drinks reception I literally walked in and straight back out, knowing it wouldn't be fair or nice for them to be around drunkards like myself lol so I missed out next time (if I'm at a con where they choose to bring it back) I hope I'm more 'with it' to get in some cuddles :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sci-fi Jules Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I didn't even know the petting zoo was there, didn't bother going over to where it was (no idea why!) so I missed it completely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danger_skies Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 If people are in any doubt over whether the tegus should have been held by us, then have a look at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nz5mvOpCnvI The owner was telling me how much they like the attention, and this proves it!
