DAY 3 on Gov Welds desk. Had a conversation with the MSPCA (Mass Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) today. They are aware of the amendment. In their words, they are against the bill. They have written the Governor asking him not to sign the bill into law, and either veto it or send it back to the Senate to have the pet store provision removed. The MSPCA is still and has always been in favor of the legalization of ferrets but not for the sale in stores. So what we feared, has happened. Course I told the MSPCA that if this bill gets "killed" because of this, I would have no control over what the "Ferret Owners" would do and made myself quite clear that you all would be quite Bull----! I do hope they got "our" message, remember Rachael Lamb and the HSUS. The best thing we can do is continue our lobbying the Governor EVERY DAY till he signs the bill. His aide (Charles) has been getting a daily dose of Sharon every day. I heard that yesterday the Governors office received over 100 calls from "Ferret Owners". Keep up the good work for all you MA people. I am not giving up till the INK dries on that parchment paper. Again, thanks for all your words of encouragement and help on this.
