Hi everyone! Just thought a little update on the Snowy/Bob Jarmain case would bring a smile to you all. Bob Jarmain didn't show up for his 1st appearance on March 2, 1999. He was arrested and spent the night in jail. He was released the following day and sent back into the public. No word on when his next date is. I want to thank all of you who have written to the London Criminal court on behalf of Snowy, The F.A.S. and The London HS. They have been receiving letters for the past 2 months and are really curious about this case and why it's gotten attention from all over North America. For more information on Snowy's case or for info on the letter writing campaign, please see Sam's site http://users.1st.net/hammock/ferrets/ontario.htm In light of the easy Canadian Criminal laws, the London HS has asked me to post this to all of you. In America, the Criminal Code is much stronger in supporting animal's rights than here in Canada. It is for this reason, I ask yet again of you for help and support. There are still many Bob Jarmains out there and many ferrets and animals suffering in Canada because of our 100 year old laws that have yet to be strengthened. Please find it in your heart to write to our Minister of Justice/ Solicitor General and request a tougher Criminal Code for Animal abusers. A form letter can be found here. http://home.echo-on.net/~magick/form.html To write your own letters, please do so at this address. Crimes Against Animals Hon.
