Default So, is it clear now?

Right, there has been a lot of about RRH over the past weeks. ANTHONY IS NO LONGER INVOLVED!!! The rescue is now in my hands (and another guy called Lee too). Please stop slating us, we are a propper rescue and we will be happy for anyone to visit at any time. We keep our reptiles in the best conditions possible, and all are VERY well cared for.

Do you not think maybe a name change could do you a lot of good if this is nothing to do with the old resuce?

Why should I change it? I rescue reptiles and am based in Hull. So the name makes sence. Plus, I get most of my rescues from the public, not off here. If people have a problem with RRH then all they have to do is PM me and I will tell them whats going on.

Just seem very pig headed to be honest. With a million different names you could come up with, and to rid yourself of what is a bad reputation inherited by you, it would make sense. That's all I am saying

well how would a new name help? They are people who run 'rescues' all over the joint. I think that a name is nothing to to do with it; its the people that run it that count; not the name.

I will be keeping this name as it has done justice as far as I know, it's just people on here that have judged the name and that doesn't bother me. I now run the rescue and if people on here know that, then I should be ok.

Then, and this is just my opinion, that's a very odd decision you're making for the sake of, well I don't know why, it's not a business so a name change would really matter very little.

I just know that if I run a rescue and it even had a similar named, and got confused with, a rescue with a bad rep by even a handful of people I would change the name.

To me, the whole thing seems odd, that's all I am saying.

Default Judge a Book by its Cover?

Why do a name change?
Do People really still judge a Book by its cover?
I have read the threads re Bosc. sad as we all know.
But surely if some-one new is taking over, why the name change? Surely its the people/shop ect who should be judge on how well they do or dont do, as the case may be. After all a shop is just a front, untill you get inside the shell and see for yourself.
I think the time is now to Give This Person and others a chance to either prove themselves or get to know them.
Never judge a book by its cover, its whats inside that counts.
I get Judge everyday of my life. why?.. Because i am disabled. Get spoken to like i am ga ga. Till i open my gob and something witty comes out.
(oh N.B. I dont play on my disabilty.) So i am not going to change my name because of what i got.
I just hope these people do not go down the path as last lot and no more Reps ever suffer again.
Give people time and a chance. After all we fecked up in our lives 1 way or another.

you know i'm glad anthony never got his solicitors to mail all the rescues. because i'd have simply tracked him down and force fed him the letter. good on you for taking it on.

Yep, people do this, will do this and are going to do this. From what I can tell the original RRH has got an awful name, so a proper fresh start with a new name really is going to be the only way you will get away from the muck that has been attached to the RRH name.
