It is so true that when people are overly opinionated and judgmental of others who don't necessarily believe the same as they do or of those who are simply asking questions because they don't know, it does more harm than good. As you said, it sounds like it might not be such a bad thing to not be a part of that group anymore.

I'm sorry to hear that you had such a bad experience with that group. I've known groups of people like that ("you think what we tell you to think or else"). I'm holistic in my approach, but I don't totally discount traditional veterinary care either. I have heard that there is some evidence of adrenal issues in DOGS due to spay/neuter - but that is not to say that there aren't other birth control methods that should be used. The same research does not apply to cats. Nonetheless, each owner should do their own research on the possibilities/risks/benefits of the procedures that they have done on their pets.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859669.post-4087289489701208602014-04-02T18:48:49.619-04:002014-04-02T18:48:49.619-04:00In today's world, a lot of people are living i...In today's world, a lot of people are living in echo chambers, enjoying the confirmation bias of opinions that agree with theirs and automatically rejecting those that don't as "wrong" because they are different.

In fact, every time I go to purchase something, I read the negative reviews first, not the positive, because I want to know why people don't like the thing I'm about to do. I also know that I watched my grandma's dog die of cancer because she wasn't spayed. And have seen lots of cats with FIV because they weren't neutered.... and lots of kittens die because there are too many. It's a shame that with all the good information they have in that group you wrote about, they aren't willing to listen to other sides of the story.

It seems that - as we have been allowed the freedom to select what we choose to read, what channels align with our beliefs the most that we only choose to watch - the world has become more polarized.

Why is it that our society as a whole has become MORE combatant if you hold a differing opinion about ANYTHING? OK that was two questions. Rhetorical questions.It just seems to me we use to be able to ''discuss'' topics without being called names or being banned. I don't get it. So much for opened ended dialogue.
