The owner of Perfect Puppy, Scott Bergantino, reacted to the Facebook Page (Boycott 'The Perfect Puppy) by lashing out in an attempt to shut down the discussion. So, all identities were protected. Discussions are confidential. Posts, Comments, and Photographs are anonymous. My desire to protect people’s identities came from an understanding that people need to feel safe. They need to know they will not be harmed for speaking their truth. Mr. Bergantino was unable to identify, contact or silence anyone choosing to use their voice. Outraged, he targeted the only person he could- me. Mr. Bergantino attempted to force me to close the Page- silencing those brave enough to speak out. I refused, so he began to harass me. His harassment includes: * His plan to visit the HR Dept. at my place of employment- in an attempt to have me fired * Going inside my spouse’s place of employment- threatening and scaring the employees, in an attempt to have my spouse fired * Repeatedly posted threatening public comments on the main Page * Posting on my business page- in an attempt to harm my business * Re-iterated plans to try and have me investigated and/or arrested for various ‘made up’ crimes * Threatening emails * Publicly and repeatedly calling me a “lezbo”. * Perhaps, most threatening, he made sure I was aware he knew exactly where I live and exactly where I work. Despite the threats and financial pressure- the FB Page is still active, identities are still protected and people continue to speak out. As every contributor was made anonymous on the FB Page... Perfect Puppy is targeting me because I’ve prevented them from targeting anyone else. It’s that simple...it’s symbolic. Mr. Bergantino intends to make an example out of me- “I don’t make threats- I make promises”. Hurting me will send that message- loud and clear…and I REFUSE to be used as a tool to scare others. Since the beginning, thousands of people have used their energy to comment, participate, share, sign and send incredibly inspiring messages of support. All of that energy has multiplied, becoming a real force to be reckoned with! Perfect Puppy doesn’t realize what they’ve gotten themselves into… No matter what happens…moving forward is the right thing to do. I know it in my soul. I will always be able to look myself in the mirror and know I did everything in my power to make a difference. I am not alone…There are hundreds, maybe thousands of people standing together. The use of threats and intimidation only strengthen our resolve to stand firm. We stand for the victims. These are hundreds of real experiences, real people and really sick puppies. We are their voice! These are living, breathing beings, not a profit source.
