Hi everyone, just wanted to offer an update about the Petition for WestJet & Air Canada to allow ferrets on board as carry on and as checked baggage. We are at 259 signatures as I write this, which is amazing, but signatures are beginning to taper off a bit. Thank you so much if you have already signed it, but if you haven't please sign and help out your fellow ferret lovers. The next step is to share the link of the petition with your friends and family, as that is what will ensure we get enough signatures to make sure we are heard by these Airlines. Additionally, once we win this battle with these two major Canadian airlines, both with operate in the United States, we can begin to petition various US. Airlines to follow suit in their acceptance of ferrets on board. If only we could just take our ferrets on board, it would make everyone's lives so much easier when they need to travel. At the moment, neither of these airlines even allow ferrets as checked baggage - you have to ship your ferret separately as unattended cargo, which puts so much unnecessary stress on both the ferrets and their owners. Thank you again for all your support, please sign & share this with everyone you know! <http://www.change.org/petitions/air-canada-westjet-allow-ferrets-as-carry-on-and-as-checked-baggage-on-their-flights> As an added note, I will be writing to a consumer-investigator reporter very soon, and I would love to have 500+ signatures by the time I write to them, to ensure that they pick up the story. They will be able to get the answers & response from WestJet & Air Canada that we have been so far unable to get on our own. Thanks again, Rachel & Rolo. [Posted in FML 7632]
