I spoke to a lady at the Bay City Times yesterday--after I tried to fax to their voice line. They are still covering the Kodo story with vigor. I gave her a lot of information. She indicated that she knew Karen Burns (the Animal Control officer), and that Burns had worked for the HSUS before she took the job she has now. I used that as an opportunity to explain that HSUS used to recommend kill and test for ferrets, but that since an approved rabies vaccine had surfaced, they had reversed themselves and now recommend a quarantine for ferrets just as they do for dogs and cats. Please don't try to use the numbers on the list from yesterday to fax Bay City Times. They are all voice numbers. Also, if you want to send them a letter by email, please send it to [log in to unmask] They prefer to keep their letters to the editor separate from other correspondence. Time is running out for Kodo. I can't sleep for worrying about this fuzzy. I've contacted everyone I can think of, including my own governor, who will be getting another call from me today. I just know that if I don't do anything and Kodo loses, my fuzzies may be the next Kodos. Can't even conceive of that. Chris Heath, San Antonio [Posted in FML issue 1959]
