Please pass to Ms. Nancy Hartman for immediate release to all networks and pet forums. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: We were AWESOME - WE KNOCKED THEIR SOCKS OFF AT THE ANIMAL CARE EXPO 93" I just returned from perhaps the greatest week of my life. The interaction of the Ferret Friends of Indian River County and the Humane Societies from all over the U.S., not to mention the Wildlife people and the SPCA was tremendous. With the exception of the Humane Society we had the largest exhibit contingent - By the time we left Orlando everyone who attended the EXPO was talking about the FERRET PEOPLE and they were making positive comments. I want all of you to know that due to our non-political, factual, informative information there will hundreds prehaps thousands of ferret lives saved. Just to mention a few - we made contact with at least one person (in most cases 5 to 10 people) from each state where ferrets are illegal - and these people agreed that they would insure that their people got copies of the shelter listing and would do their upmost to contact ferret shelters in their states when a ferret came in to them and they would release said ferrets to a ferret shelter So all those in the "forbidden" states - and states next door to them GET READY - IF YOU ARE NOT HOME DURING THE DAY LEAVE YOUR ANSWERING MACHINES ON - YOU WILL BE CALLED. I must close now must unpack tables and return them and return the rental car and unpack. Every ferret owner everywhere should be proud as peacocks of those who "manned" our booth.
