Next Boks Conference

I am not so cynical at the writer of what Boks called a "nasty email" critiquing his Humane LA workshops, with the alleged purpose of creating unified action to help rescue animals and inform the public of what the department is doing. I just wish we had our own conference as a referendum pointing out LAAS' and Boks' failures.

In fact, I think such a rebuttal conference a great idea.

We all know there will be a large amount of self-serving hyperbole at this conference, but so what? It is addressed to the general public, not we who want Boks out.

I think the last conference exposed those who saw it in person or on TV to aspects of the rescue community I had only heard about but never saw or heard of in person.
