Thread: Differing Opinions ....

That there has to be a protected sub-forum for those interested in raw food, and that there isn't one for those who think raw feeding is a bad idea, speaks volumes for the attitude of some (of course not all!) of those against raw feeding.

The fact is that the pro-raw and those interested in raw were made to feel that it was unmentionable. This seemed very unfair to me, so I started a thread 'Raw Feeding Corner' which was immediately trashed. I have not done that to anyone else.

I actually was accused of 'not really caring' about my cats' health, which I found offensive, and for which I received a grudging apology. Again, I would never think that of anyone who was not feeding raw, let alone say so in a forum. There were other insulting assumptions made against me, even though I thought I had kept my posts measured and reasonable.

If anyone has prevented the equitable sharing of views, it is the people with this unhelpful attitude, and not the admins. I don't see that anyone has been driven away: after all, both sides of the discussion can still be found on this forum.
