101. No. Absolutely not.

It was apparent in 2016 to me that the people who supported him were genetically, morally, humanly DIFFERENT than I am. I have written them all off. They bring nothing of value to my life when they don't have the capacity to care about others, have empathy for others' suffering, and they damn sure are NOT animal welfare people. Those qualities (compassion, empathy, and animal welfare) are all minimal components that I need for someone to be in my circle.

I haven't missed any of them. Occasionally, one of them will try to re-introduce contact with me and that is always a source of stress. I want them to understand that when I write someone off - it's for good.
