If the goal is to educate people to save the animals, then as you present the facts or the education to the target audience you need to be focused on the goal. If your attitude, emotion(anger), pride, or ego gets in the way of the goal, you have failed. Not many people can take the truth in such a harsh way and if you insist on being rude in the way you deliver the message, they might shut their ears off and you fail to achieve your goal.

Honestly I think a lot of experts lose focus of this goal. They'll keep that as their goal if the target audience is easy and very open minded. However as soon as any resistance is met, their goal to help educate owners to provide better care becomes secondary, while their primary goal seems to have become the need to show people how stupid they are for not listening to you and acknowledging that you are an expert while they are not.

Who is an expert ? I don't knw any experts ....


I think what Shane is trying to get across is that after 5 or so years it gets hard to keep coming back ... I think in this world u have people who will listen and those that just don't want to what ever tact u use wether it's nice or tough love ...

No body just gives up but u can pick and choose ur battles rather than wasting ur breath and effort ...
