I remember the CYA message board well. I still have quite a few of the old posts. I had no idea about the letter from the SPCA lawyers.

I recall what may have been the "defamatory" message. I don't know if there was more than one.

Most people don't sue because somebody makes inaccurate posts on the internet. A correction should have sufficed. People or groups don't instigate lawsuits unless they have hundreds of thousands of available assets. Many posts on the CYA board were about Hooper's $200 000 + salary, financial accountability, animal assessments, and the usual animal discussion stuff.

The AAS case has gone on way too long and there seems to be no end in sight. It may never end up in court. I am very sorry that Canada permits these interminable cases to continue. It doesn't speak well for our judicial system.

I agree that your courage is amazing, Judy and co-defendants. This must be a horrendous experience for you all. Using your own funds must mean a lot of personal sacrifice. I appreciate the fact that you use no donor funds on litigation.
