Hello, from GuZoo,
This recent media blitz intended to ultimately have us shut down, has resulted in unprecedented offers of support and help in all imaginable ways. Face Book and other social media is a powerful tool, and it can work for or against us.
Once those photos hit the internet, we were bombarded with phone calls and emails of the nastiest description. Hidden intermittently between some of the most vulgar and fowl language I have seen and heard were death threats, not only to us, but to the animals also.
But after two days of this abuse, the tides began to turn and the phone calls and letters of support started coming in. By day four the supporters outnumbered the Anti GuZoo activists and we began to realize just how many lives we have positively touched over the years.
So, from the bottom of our hearts, we, the Gustafson family, would like to thank you so very much. I am sure you can appreciate the stress something like this causes to a family and having your support really lifted the load.
The governing authorities have done their inspections. We were visited by Alberta Fish and Wildlife, who two days later, issued us our permit. The ASPCA attended to do their routine complaint investigation concerning a goat with a broken horn, a tortoise with no heat lamp and a dog with a sore. The officers indicated the animals were dealt with to their satisfaction.
We will prevail.!
The GuZoo will live on!
