Here is the letter I sent. For those of you that cared enough to participate, thank you. Lets keep all paws crossed that it helps. HappyTails & HappyHearts, Karen and the Jacksonville Jive @the Bridge, Jubilee and the Scruff You Gang http://ferretlover97.terrabox.com/HappyHeartsFerret.html Say no to PETsMART Petition http://www.petitiononline.com/fer8hapy/petition.html Dear Sir or Madam, Please use the link below to visit the petition created concerning PETsMART's decision to sell ferret kits. If every signature represents $100.00 spent in your stores monthly, you stand to lose $215,700.00 per month, $2,588,400.00 per year. Many of the signatures are from shelters. Many of the signatures represent much more than $100.00 per month. The loss of your reputation for putting the animal's welfare foremost is, of course, of far greater value. That reputation has been a very good marketing tool, it would be a shame to lose it now. Please reconsider. There are too few shelters housing too many ferrets. In NC I know of only two shelters. One houses 100 ferrets or better. The other is fast approaching those numbers. Here is the link to the petition: http://www.petitiononline.com/fer8hapy/petition.html Here is a link to a website listing known ferret shelters. It is updated every year. http://ferretlover97.terrabox.com/SOS-ShelterList.html Sincerely, Karen Douglas [Posted in FML issue 4741]
