RE: Short term caretaker position at farm near Farm Sanctuary

[Guest guest]

Hi Ron,

There isn't actually any connection between our group and Farm Sanctuary

(other than that we think they are a great group). It just happens

that someone who owns land near FS was willing to donate the use of a

barn and caretaker's quarters to help out with the quail rescue. I only

mentioned FS for reference to the location since I think most people on

this email list know where FS is (because they have been there before)

and are not familiar with the area up there otherwise. Hope that

straightens things out.

Hello Brian,

Coincidentally, I just visited Farm Sanctuary for their annual

Celebration

for the Turkeys. Would you kindly clarify for me your connection and

the

farm facility near F.S. which you mentioned and the Bureau Humane

Law

Enforcement as that was not totally clear. Thanks.
