Dear FML'ers, Could you please take a moment to email me the name, city, and state of pet stores near you that sell ferrets, and, in the unlikely event that they defang (grind down the teeth), that information too? Jennifer Klefenz (and I, among others) are upset that Pet World in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada, continues to have its kits defanged. I have written a letter that I am going to send to the owner, in which I claim that I know of no other pet store that does this, and I'd like this to be a broad search. Surely if hundreds of other pet stores can stay in business without defanging, Moncton Pet World can too. Also, if anyone would be willing to join me in an Amnesty International- style letter writing effort, I'd be happy to coordinate it. Jennifer has already given the address of the pet store, and I've asked her for the name and address of the local newspaper as well. (All I could find on the Web was a bunch of University and Real Estate pages for Moncton.) The hope is that a small barrage of polite but firm letters, and maybe some publicity will convince the pet store owner that people are watching what he does and that we disapprove of his cruelty. Thanks, Dennis [Posted in FML issue 1294]
