Hey guys... Well, after a crazy week of mourning, gathering information, and working with the AFA, we have a plan of attack. The AFA is going to send "official" letters of complaint to the following five places: to encourage them to use this tragedy as an opportunity to respond with compassion and revisit their "no ferrets in the cabin" pet traveling policy: American Airlines P.O. Box 619612 MD 2400 DFW Airport, Texas 75261-9612 Mr. Robert C. McCulloch St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney 100 So. Central Ave. Clayton, Missouri 63105 314-615-2600 Supreme Court Building 207 W. High St. P.O. Box 899 Jefferson City, Missouri 65102 573-751-3321 The station that broadcasts the Bob and Tom show, on which the morning DJs joked about the ferret on the airplane story, saying how the guy tried to flush it but that, ultimately, the ferret lived: Spencer Koch General Manager KSHE 95 800 St. Louis Union Station The Powerhouse St. Louis, Missouri 63103 KSHE s parent company (and the hometown of the Bob and Tom show): Mr. Jeffrey Smulyan CEO EMMIS Communications One EMMIS Plaza 40 Monument Circle, Suite 700 Indianapolis, Indiana 46204 They are going to post the letters on their Web site and encourage all members and visitors to send letters of their own. If anyone wants to see the letters I've drafted, e-mail me privately and I'll send them along. (Saves you the time of writing your own, right?) Let's all work to turn this tragedy into a positive!
