should post this warning. I do not know this individual but working in rescue I
receive these and feel obligated to send them on to others. If anyone is
offended please just delete.

I don't get people. Why on earth would someone do
stuff like this. Really I'm just at a loss for words over
this. Maybe one of these days a Shepard will get him
back for what he has done.
