I wish to offer my sincerest condolences to Bob Jacobs and his family regarding the death of Kodo. The death was unnecessary and pointless, and I strongly encourage you to continue the fight in civil court and sue those SOBs for millions. As OJ found out, you can win in civil court. I also want to say how proud I am of all who worked so hard for Kodo, both those who actively took a role in the fight, as well as those who helped with contributions. You are all true Ferreteers! I also want to say now is not the time to slack off on this. Express your outrage verbally and written with mail and fax. As a confirmed troublemaker, I say plaster these guys as never before! Demand changes, demand firings, and vote the idiots out!!! Personally, I think the people involved should have their books looked over by people using the FOI Act to gain access to the records. Any discrepancy should be reported to the media, even minor ones. You MIchigan people are in charge of your government, so fire the domesticated (but feral) burros! Force changes! I would start there the problem began, and work upward. When the report returns that Kodo was negative for rabies, start a public relations nightmare for the idiots. Never let up; make it a part of your morning to legally make them wish they had never heard of ferrets. I would also bombard the pet magazines and vet and legal journals with polite examples of your outrage. The alternative? Just cut off your ferrets heads and mail them in, because someday the gestapo will come aknocking at your door. Smile when you bend over, that's your government in action. And you thought taxes were bad. Bob C and 17 MO Mad As Hell Ferreteers. [Posted in FML issue 1967]
