Yay, I finally did it.... I received HSUS's annual calendar and donation request in the mail the other day, and this morning i sent off my reply. I told them that although I appreciate the calendar and applaud much of the work they've done for other species, I had decided to cancel the financial donation I'd planned, due to their continued anti-ferret efforts in CA. I said that as long as they support the criminalization of ferrets, I cannot support them.....I think I also said something about ferrets having been grossly misrepresented by organizations such as HSUS... It was interesting - on the please-send-us-money-to-help-the- animals letter they sent, they mention one of their goals includes....oh, what was their wording?....well, something about dog bites. They don't even mention ferret bites, but consider ferrets so evil that they must be outlawed? Ah well, just wanted to share... -joyce (Ha! I'm finally writing a protest letter!) - Seth the Amazing Wonder Ferret (use the other pen to sign it. I like the way this one tastes.) [Posted in FML issue 1380]
