Late tonight I had a thought - Petco is a corporate sponsor of the CHAMPS conference scheduled for RENO NV in AUg. IF there is anyone here who is a supporter of the Pet Savers Foundation - or planning to attend the CHAMPS conference ( email: [log in to unmask]) please consider writing and pointing out that these sponsors are not acting humanely and therefore should NOT be allowed to promote their industry to the humane community. IT HAS worked with other sponsors in the past. ALSO anyone with contacts at NSAL ( North Shore Animal League) which is the sponsor for Pet Savers Foundation - please write / email to them ( [log in to unmask]) and protest Petco's stand on ferrets- ferret sales. Petco does not sell puppies & kittens but DOES sell ferrets and badly at that! Maybe the pocketbook will help move Petco into a new age?\ Just a few late night thoughts- I am still madder than helll- those beautiful petite blazes, marked DEW and wonderful light choc mitts- they did not deserve the total disregard to be treated like no more than a dirty litterbox.
