I was going to post this on his one thread, but I have had no dealings with this man and I don't plan on it. This email I received from him stems from his Bad Guy post, HERE.

I don't take kindly to being threatened. I want any potential customers to know what type of person they are dealing with.

His email to me:


Subject: 501C ( not ) and running bussiness from a none store front ?

are you a legitimate 501C rescue ?
does your town not have limits on the amount of animals you can have in your location?

why are you butting into business you know nothing about ?
maybe my emails to your surroundings authorities will wake you up.
Your actions have repercussions, think before you jump.
I have been in business since 1975 legally and you ?

My response:

Chris,

A- no do not have a 501c, don't need it. Not claiming it on taxes &
there is no limit on animals in my county. We live in a farming
community.

B- the rescues I take in are rehabilitated, and rehomed with no fee or
funds exchanging hands.

C- I do not run my business from my home, I breed my animals there but
sell at shows.

Just because you owe someone money, does not give you the right to
threaten me.

Melissa
