I kind of trust the people most affected by the bobcats to have the best information available at this time. I mean the people living around Saludo Street in Lynnhaven.
They probably called the news source which must not be named which reported the story.
Maybe I can persuade one of the people most involved with the cat snatchings in Lynnhaven to come on TOTV and talk to people about what they experienced. Remember though that people have trouble talking about things when it happened to them firsthand. Post traumatic stress disorder would apply to the loss of a beloved pet.
In my experiences with Villages' new sources --unless they are going from police reports-- the facts can be hit or miss. Gary Corsair, for instance, did a story on me in
The Villages Daily Sun on Memorial Day of 2007 and he got all kinds of the facts I told him wrong. The story was about my fight to get the Florida Victim Services Directory connected to Villages' area libraries. I have dealt with a lot of journalists in my 224 612 Project since 1992 or thereabouts and have not found them to be the best fact checkers. The actual people involved in the stories are the best resources not journalists looking for something to fill up their publications' pages.
