With Kodo's case going to a whole new level, I think it's imperative to keep up the pressure on the media and Michigan legislators. USA Today is read nationally and they do pick up local stories. You can send them a letter to the editor at <[log in to unmask]> or just ask them to pick up the story. I also think it would be good to tell them about California--2 major ferret stories happening simultaneously. Also, I don't know if WLNS-TV in Lansing has picked the story up yet, but they SHOULD. (They were not interested in talking to me since I am not in Michigan and I'm not too good at lying about stuff like that :-) Michigan folks will have more clout: 517-372-8282 or <[log in to unmask]> Let them know what a great job their sister CBS affiliate, WNEM, is doing at covering the story (surely they can pick up something from WNEM). I'm copying from Paula's post yesterday: E-mail the Michigan legislature, or call them for information, as the Senate (at least) is watching closely. For addresses, see: http://www.house.state.mi.us/replist.html (House of Representatives) http://www.migov.state.mi.us (links to Senator's contact info) We love you Kodo...
