Our club which is the only ferret shelter in this area has been trying to get Petsmart's attention also having talked with Jim Davis and are now trying to get active. We have been having educational tables at Petsmart, they beg us to come. We try for 2 in Ft WOrth and 2 in Dallas per month. Its a lot of work. The shelter kids are not taken because they are already in stress and depression from coming in here, don't want them to go through more - the members take their own kids to show as it is a treat for them to get out. I already buy $70 bottles of carafate to fight the ulcers developed from stress and depression . We ALL need to work on this and not just the letters in hard copy, the emails, the phone calls but when you go into your favorite Petsmart, go to the manager and explain your position and that if they do start, you will consider taking all your business elsewhere and if you have an idea of how much you spend per month per year, tell them. NOT just here in the pilot area where they are testing to see how they will do ESPECIALLY AT CHRISTMAS TIME. but everywhere. Get the world out there will be repercussions everywhere if they do this. Even Maine, or Oregon or New Mexico or Florida. Cause if it passes here, you are going to see it come to your state.
