I've been in contact with Michael Giannelli of the Ark Trust a few times
due to large amounts of email they've been getting (including someone who
was forwarding the FML to him - that seems to have stopped, thanks).  He
has asked me to post a statement from him to a couple of appropriate lists.
And I've agreed.  Thus...
 
>Dear friends of Kodo and other ferrets:
>
>To the many champions of Kodo and to defenders of ferrets everywhere who
>have e-mailed us in recent weeks, The Ark Trust extends thanks, moral
>support and sincere wishes for your success.  Your spirit and dedication are
>indeed commendable.  Unfortunately, however, the sheer volume of our e-mail
>traffic on this subject has at times been overwhelming.  We respectfully ask
>therefore that redundant and multiple e-mail messages to us be stopped.  We
>would also ask that ferret people everywhere appreciate the fact that, owing
>to our very limited resources, The Ark Trust cannot respond to all e-mail
>messages or become involved in every worthy campaign for animals.  We warmly
>thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation.
>
>Most sincerely,
>
>Michael
