I took the liberty of forwarding Sam's poem to both prosecuting attorneys
with the following cover letter.
 
>Dear Ms Chrysler,
>
>Please stop the persecution of this innocent ferret and return him to his
>family.  If he had rabies both he and the gentleman that touched his tooth
>would be dead by now.  It seems to me that the best solution at this point
>is to let KODO go home to his family.
>
>I am forwarding a poem called "Kodo's Version".  I hope it will help you
>find it in your heart to do the right thing which is to stop this
>prosecution and let us all go on with our lives.
>
>I look forward to hearing that you have cancelled the government's case and
>are allowing the ferret to go back to his family where he belongs.
>
>Thanks in advance for your consideration in this matter.
>
>Sincerely,
>
>[MS]
