[Moderator's note: Karen posted this yesterday but I held it pending
further confirmation.  And wow, did we ever get confirmation!  BIG]
 
HeyHeyHey,
 
This is an alert to an unwise corportae descision.  PetSmart is going to
start selling ferrets.  This has been confirmed via the local PetSmart
and form letters sent in reply to consern.  Can we see if we can try to
stop this please.
 
This is from thier policy about cats and dogs.

"We're making a difference at PETsMART
At PETsMART, we are passionate about pets.  We believe that every pet
should have a loving family and healthy, happy life.  "
 
What about ferrets?  Dont care about them?
 
"For this reason, we made a conscious decision to not sell cats or dogs.
Rather, we dedicate space in every store to more than 2,700 local animal
welfare organizations to help homeless dogs and cats find loving homes."
 
They could do that for ferrets too.
 
"Here's how you can adopt a pet and save a life.
