I did not need to open my email to discover a “pingback” to the article about Hoarders on this blog. I especially did not need to follow the link and discover my copyrighted article used without any permission or a request for permission on a blog FOR ANIMAL RESCUE ORGANIZATION.
Needless to say, had they politely – and legally – emailed and requested my permission I would gladly have given it. But no – they just ripped it off. I guess it is okay for a rescue association to steal.
I am not going to make this a clickable link because I do not want to give this blog any assistance in any way. You can see the theft here: http://gatewayanimals.org/2010/01/hoarders-%E2%80%93-a-pet-peeve/
How low can this world get? Charity organizations stealing from creative people – who also do pet rescue.
I guess it’s just a symptom of this whole societal thing where the work done by creative people is considered worthless and not worthy of pay or respect (and if that is the case then why are you stealing it?).
Go ahead steal from me. I’m out of cat food and my groceries this week consisted of a 10 lb bag of potatoes and a big bag of salad. This so we can afford the gas to take the husband to his kidney doctor so they can tell us if he is going to have to start dialysis three times a week. Yes, steal from me – I can so afford it.
