After a tour in Vietnam, 3 1/2 years as a street cop, I thought very little bothered me. I have seen more of mans injustice to man that anyone ever should. But the injustice to Kodo has finally brought me to the breaking point. Enough is enough! I agree with BobC in the need for a national if not international organization for ferrets and their rights. While this path will be a long one, we have to do it. The only other option's are militant uprising or just bend over and take it when ever. I do not at this point advocate an militant uprising but am dammed tired of bending over for the politicians and a screwed up court system. Another option does exist. Boycottting all products from Michigan until the laws are changed, the present Governer is gone, and the animal control officer is fired from her job. Not only boycotting the products but also emailing the producers and telling them why you no longer use their products. Name names when you do and it will sink in. When the political contributions start drying up from the producers, we would be speaking to them in a language they understand. A vote isn't going to have nearly as much effect as the shrinking money will have. Lastly, I consider Kodo as having been murdered by the state of Michigan. "He who destroys a thing, controls a thing" (Dune). A shame it had to be Kodo who paid the price this time. Are we next?
