re: Need advice on how to handle this situation

Hedgehog Breeders of America Annual Convention

Sadly this was held on July 16, 2016 at the Ramada Inn of Lexington, Kentucky.

"We have already heard some discontent circulating from cliques of breeders that if so-and-so attends then they won't. We have a very hard and professional request for you: Hedgehog Breeders of America is an open event to all breeders. We encourage open, academic discussion among our vastly different opinions and personalities. We encourage everyone to place their personal feelings aside and join together for the betterment of the species as we band together to form healthy, happy pets. That being said, fights, or disruption of the professional and academic environment of the event will cause both parties (no matter who started it) to be removed from the event with no refund provided."

WHO knew that the Hedgehog community was composed of individuals who wanted to fight each other and create disruption. Hedgehogs owners with Red bandannas should not mix with those with Blue bandannas.
