[Jacob-list] Just when I thought PETA was bad...

[Katherine Wisor]

Chris>   Two weeks ago  I had a Sunday visit from a family  who noticed 
my animals from another street and through a stand of woods.  They 
didn't seem friendly but interested that a farm was in the middle of 
Hidden Valley  without them seeing it for years!  The next day I found 
a card from a code enforcement officer that someone had called them 
with a complaint about "animals" nothing specific but she wanted to 
come and "inspect my property for violations " just in case..... When  
Peta's taking the day off they must be sending out spy's !   I emailed 
her and told her she could come anytime on my days off, still have not 
heard from her!    She must be really busy these days keeping critters 
safe!       Have faith it's all of us taking turns..
