This is the email I got back from the organization that stole my article.

I’ve removed the article from the site. I honestly didn’t think it would be a big deal and I gave full attribution with a link-back (which is likely the only reason you even knew it was posted on our site) to you and your site.

At any rate, I’ve deleted it and won’t be visiting your site or using anything from it again.

Sorry for any offense. We are a small organization with no budget and little time. We currently have more animals than money to care for them and little prospect for income other than what we spend ourselves, which we can’t afford.

Good day,

Let’s see – he insulted my intelligence and he is bitching at me for pointing out that they were STEALING from me. And, again, let me say that all they had to do was ASK PERMISSION to use the article. Well, at least I won’t have to worry about what they will steal next since they are blessing me with their absence.

Grrrrrrr
