Operation GYPSY has and will continue to have success in locating missing dogs and getting them home safely. We are able to do this with the cooperation of all of our volunteers. Operation GYPSY has protocol in place for nearly every situation to get a dog back to its owners or to safety as quickly as possible. Our methods which often include tracking, mapping, spotters, flyers, trapping, live video feed and most of all patience. Allowing a lost dog to become comfortable and safe in an area is of utmost importance. This cant be done with copious amounts of people swarming an area. You have often seen us take our approach to private chat, including anyone who is actively and productively participating. At times we have shared intrusions from others into a capture that have caused setbacks. Caroline shared quite a few of them here during the Buddy mission. Because of the necessity of confidentiality from those who think they can do it better, for lack of another way of putting it, we keep our protocol close and our progress closer for the safety of the dog and the peace of mind for the owner. Today we were subjected to some of those kinds of people on the search for Nena. We were confronted by not activists but immature and uncontrolled extremists who feel its their right to do as they please. This wasnt limited to destroying tracks, attempting to flush a dog in the pitch black out of their safe zone, swearing at us and now threatening myself and most certainly the safety of Nena. Nena was pushed out of an area of limited traffic and was seen numerous times today on and at 390 and 490 because of their procedures. During the onslaught of screaming and f bombs, yours truly was embarrassed for them, took the high road and walked away. At this time because of their position and behavior the police ordered them out of the area we have been informed. The safety of everyone, including the public must be considered at all times. The bad choices and childish behaviors and threats of a few are disappointing and detrimental to say the least.
