It wouldn’t be the first time they’ve tried using that excuse, and we expected to see it again back in July, following Sarah Gunther‘s forced animal abuse admission, but some would be hard pushed to make it stick given their continued support of Gunther or, in this instance, one of her thin disguises, Esme Weatherwax (currently AWOL) :
Esme Weatherwax-Gunther has been around for a while, certainly well before her court case, although several people joined the Esme friends list after Gunther’s conviction for animal abuse (sickening).
Gunther locked down the page shortly after a comment appeared on this blog, which could be coincidental, but it’s a mystery why she bothered; everyone knew it was her. Maybe her dear friends didn’t like the exposure.
And now some HC‘s are, all of a sudden, sharing and sympathising with Last Chance Conscience Clearance ; something about –
“I wish she could feel the guilt and shame I feel for allowing myself to be taken in by such manipulative and cruel person“.
So, in spite of several warnings over several years ; in spite of never having met the woman nor set foot anywhere near EGAR ; in spite of knowing Gunther used fake profiles to troll (fair enough, so did they) ; in spite of joining her on Lem (anti-Lennox hate) pages and The Lav ; in spite of never being privy to a shred of evidence for anything Gunther claimed ; in spite of all that, they would like it very much if you would believe them when they say, very sincerely, that they are disgusted, deeply hurt and clueless about what was going on.
You couldn’t make it up. But they could. They made it up as they went along based almost entirely on Gunther‘s say-so. The only reason they’re bleating in public now is because mud sticks, rendering as utter crap any ‘guilty by association‘ excuses.
Among significant others, Gunther’s supporters include Kirsten Lawrence, Denise Day, Ella Wardley and Karin Kulessa (aka Lasse Junior Kulessa).
Karin has been very much involved with Gunther for a while, and some have said they know each other personally from way back. Either way, Kulessa and Gunther are joined at the hip.
Vet Bills EGAR is a group they both set up to raise money ‘for vets bills‘ :
The 850 Euros they were after represented funds Gunther should already have had. It was made to look authentic and above board by inviting donations direct to the vets, allowing other ‘funds’ to be used as Gunther saw fit and, as we all now know (and weren’t her supporters warned countless times before?), she did not use all donations for animal welfare.
And now it seems Karin Kulessa is looking for financial help for Lasse, which is her own dog?? Unless those funds are to be paid direct to a vet, it couldn’t possibly be another means to use excess cash for Gunther could it, bearing in mind that fees relating to her court case are due for payment imminently?
Knowing how devious and dishonest Gunther is, what are the odds on any of her claims and stories being true? Stories such as the vans breaking down (year after year!); the alleged attack on her property; the mysterious and invisible fosterers; Buster?
It’s interesting that, even in her newest fake id, she still has some of the trolls marked in the above screen grab hanging on to her every word. Women who claim to care about animals yet are happy to stay friends with an abuser and believe her excuses or ignore her actions. Women who spent so much time and effort throwing hate at the family of Lennox and pretending they had researched their facts when actually they had just taken the word of gunther, the dog warden and a couple of other ignorant fools. Between them they didn’t have the brains to research the cruelty inflicted upon animals in gunthers supposed rescue. She is now moving on to other animals, horses being one of them, in order to earn an income at the expense of animals again. Her vet friend in the North is one of a small group of people who continue to support her appalling 10yr history of abuse and perhaps even help her get hold of the animals? They should all be utterly ashamed of themselves because by showing her any kind of support they are actually condoning the cruelty she inflicts. To the majority of normal people that makes them abusers too and that mud will stick for a long long time.
Or are they just too arrogant to ever admit they were wrong,and even when the prof is smacking them in the face,they choose to ignore it
Its the animals that are still there that surely should be of major concern. She cannot continue to keep animals without support and given her track record it beggars belief that any so called animal lover/vet or otherwise, can justify helping her keep those poor animals. She quite clearly couldn’t look after them properly when donations were rolling in, so how can she possibly do so now. Its a bit of a coincidence that her ‘chief fundraiser’ for the van and the vet bills recently, Kulessa, suddenly sets up another fundraiser for her own dog just about the time Gunther will be expected to pay her court fine.
Many of those on her Esme friends list were warned a few years ago by the Lennox campaign, and in particular Lennox’s owners, who unlike most of the trolls bothered to do their homework when she suggested sending Lennox to her, but they choose to ignore it. Now again despite photographic evidence and a guilty plea in court they still chose to ignore it. The question is WHY because its clearly not for the benefit of the animals who will end up in that hell hole in the future.
As far as I am concerned having seen those photos anyone who is prepared to help this woman continue in ‘rescue’ and support her taking any more animals, be they dogs, cats, horses or anything else, is equally guilty of animal abuse.
Their friendship is condoning the abuse she put those animals through and belittles the value of the animals that lost their lives in her hands 😦
How can anybody stay friends with a monster? There are a few other names there I recognise from hate campaigns other than the Lennox one and I imagine they have been fed lies from her consistantly as well, just as all the Lennox hate campaigners were. With Lennox there were 2 centre pins spreading lies, Sarah Gunther and Sandie Lightfoot, and the haters made a conscious choice to ignore the truth when they were told but the names on this list now know she’s a liar and they know she’s an abuser. They have all seen the pictures. They know she tortured animals so does she have something on them that she’s blackmailing them with? There is no acceptable reason for people to remain friends with a monster who has caused the death of many more dogs than the ones in the photo on the day she was raided.
