@carrotcottagerr I'm having to post this because anyone who questions the charity seems to get blocked. If anyone's interested here is the chat where an independently run account was seemingly punished by rabbit removal for posting a rainbow bow pic:
@ZiggyWearsHats@originvetclinic It makes NO sense! She offered to adopt and everything, given how often they seem to have no money why wouldn't they jump at the chance? Then they said they'd sworn off fosterers because of her - then decided to use a new fosterer in Cardiff. Logic clearly alludes them.
@ZiggyWearsHats@originvetclinic The rabbits were fine! Their own vet said so! But no, the charity posted to X as if the rabbits were somehow in danger and it was all a big emergency. Not true, not transparent and the charity chose to spin the narrative this way to hurt the fosterer. No other reason.
@ZiggyWearsHats@originvetclinic The charity in the last few days is trying to act like butter wouldn't melt but we've seen their dodgy posts (and screenshot them π) so this act won't cover up their behaviour. I don't even want to get into the Bruce side of things.
@ZiggyWearsHats@originvetclinic As it should be, because they've entrusted them into your care. And presumably did due diligence to check you were suitable so they wouldn't have to constantly monitor you afterwards. It seems to all be about control with this cult.
@Pastriarchyest@ZiggyWearsHats@originvetclinic I'm so angry on the fosterers behalf, the hell the charity have put her through and it all came about from a post about the weather!
It's like a fever dream.
@Pastriarchyest@ZiggyWearsHats@originvetclinic Exactly! If you choose to do all these courses but can't afford it then maybe wait and save up? Charity is one of their biggest clients I believe, which is probably why they apparently keep helping snatch rabbits 'back'. Keep the cash flowing.
@ZiggyWearsHats@originvetclinic I've volunteered with various global animal charities and have never seen them treat any staff this way. The animals always came first and if you asked a question they came back with an answer, not insults and silencing techniques.
@ZiggyWearsHats@originvetclinic No, if you are confident in your fees as a professional in the field, why write an essay about it? Someone needs to do something but from what I've heard no authority is doing anything.
@ZiggyWearsHats@originvetclinic The whole performative charity slant is icky. Posting upsetting images, begging everyone for just one pound. No plan in place, no reserve built up. It's just a joke, no other real charity I've seen works like this.
@ZiggyWearsHats@originvetclinic And so many ways to donate to cover the vet fees? Money to the charity, money direct to the vet, money to a trustees wife. I see their accounts are now 33 days overdue to boot.
@lagomorph_Bruce@Jeeveso2@FawnsOnly Odd thing to ask me when you started this, but okay.
Most of all I want happy bunnies being looked after by the best person. For the charity to stop bullying volunteers (or anyone actually) via social media & steps taken so they don't cause future harm again - to humans or buns.
@lagomorph_Bruce@Jeeveso2@FawnsOnly Also to be clear, I have a problem with the charity, how it has acted and treated a volunteer, the lies, the ego and lack of care for the animals. All trustees are accountable. You seem to think it's all about Chris but that's not come from me.
@lagomorph_Bruce@Jeeveso2@FawnsOnly If she wants me to share, I will, but that is up to her. She's still hoping to resolve with the charity directly (if they ever reply). And it looks like another ex-fosterer has had a similar experience. I don't know Natalie personally, maybe you do, but she sure had a lot to say.
@lagomorph_Bruce@Jeeveso2@FawnsOnly Why do you only now want a sensible discussion after the charity set about defaming the fosterer from the start for no good reason? You accepted that without question until months later you pick up a comment from a thread of an account you blocked and want to talk about it?
@Jeeveso2@lagomorph_Bruce@FawnsOnly I don't think he knows what point he's even trying to make now, some weak threat maybe? π€£ But sure Bruce, we'll wait for whatever it is. In the meantime maybe you can nudge the charity you may or may not be connected to, to reply to the fosterer's emails?
@lagomorph_Bruce@FawnsOnly As you said to Tom, you don't care about seeing evidence, so why ask? You claim to be a neutral rabbit but you told the fosterer that Fawn was being returned before they even knew. You keep stirring the pot with these posts then resort to insults when people defend the fosterer.
@Nataliebunnymom@ZiggyWearsHats I'm so sorry this happened to you. I thought they were scammers and bullies but this sounds horrific on a whole new level. Some people really are just evil, aren't they?
