Tim and JoAnne, First, let me say I am absolutely outraged that this is happening to your family. I fear that this is shaping up to be the Canadian version of the "Kodo case" that happened in Michigan a while back. Can you please provide us with names, addresses, e-mail addresses, and phone numbers of people to contact to express our outrage and help support your cause to keep Sydney alive. Also if I were you, I'd get the press involved in this matter immediately to bring the public's attention to this insanity. I just can't believe that even though there is zero chance that Sidney has rabies, the Communicable Disease Control still want to kill him. It's ludicrous!!! If there is an immediate threat of the Disease Control people confiscating Sydney, I'd try to find a safe hide-out for him while you fight this battle. I am so sorry that you have to go through this. Please try to give us the names and addresses etc of the people that we need to contact to help you fight this battle. You don't have to go it alone. Take care, and dooks to Sydney ...
