I need to clear some things up..
 
First: Rocky was killed after the local animal control was being pressured
by Pat Wright to allow hin to send Rocky out of state early...before the 14
day quarantine.  that is why Sacramento was ever called at all to verify if
it could be done - and they said no test it...
 
Second: I admire Pat Wright and all he has done for our cause here in Ca.
but there comes a point of fool heartedness.As in this walk of freedom -
with all the negative press received over the last month it should have been
postponed.  Next, to be blunt, the absolute insanity to have a known biter
anywhere near a person that is not used to ferrets is beyond comment.  We
will someday win this battle here in Cal but we need to use our heads a
little more.
 
Next Wilson(you notice I don't call the jerk by a title)never made any such
comment at all concerning this incident.  Believe me I am NOT defending him
in any way, but we MUST be accurate in what we report.Again this is no flame
in any way aganst Pat.  but please send all responses( I am sure I will get
yelled at) to [log in to unmask]
 
thankyou
