Ms. Chortyk's comment re: Beverley Parent being a cat hoarder was out of line, and it seems as if she is back-pedalling today.
Ms. Parent attempted to go back inside to save her cats. I think the word for that is hero.
I would sure like to see a very public retraction and apology by Ms. Chortyk, and a sizeable donation from the SPCA to Beverley's friends and colleagues involved in cat rescue, to carry on the much needed spay/neuter and rehoming work.
