I get the feeling this is an all-bird meeting. Also, SavABunny would love to have rescue rabbits available side by side with those for sale (ie at that store in Berkeley whose name I'm forgetting) so I'm not sure Mickaboo can be represented by folks that aren't Mickaboo. e -----Original Message----- From: Karen Watkins <karen.watkins(a)gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, August 05, 2010 6:55 AM To: 'Mickaboo media advisor team' <media-advisors(a)mickaboo.org> Subject: Re: [Media-advisors] 3rd Request- SF Pet Sale Ban meeting with pet sellers?

Fwd: Meeting w/pet store owners and others??

Here's what I know about the last meeting held. Let's be creative and ask for what we want (in addition for pet sellers to stop selling pets).

No action required, just wanted to share this comment with you. It's a good warm up for the 8/12 meeting. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Anonymous <noreply-comment(a)blogger.com> Date: Tue, Aug 3, 2010 at 10:44 AM Subject: [the rescue report] New comment on The Pet Bird Crisis is So Bad....

You are being inundated with birds because you advertise that you will take in birds! DUH... what did you expect? When you took over the rescue biz, that is what happened. You wanted that role and you have it. All those birds that used to go to vets, bird breeders and clubs for re-homing are now going YOUR way. And, as far as patting yourselves on the back, don't strain your arm. I personally know of more than one rescue operation that operates for MONEY...they won't take in any birds that aren't perfect and able to be easily "sold" for a nice profit. And, I know of other rescue operations that have sought out "showy" birds so they can call on more donations...in fact one guy went so far as to STEAL a Blue and Gold and a Hyacinth for his rescue...but with a call to the police, he was "persuaded" to return those two birds! This kind of behavior does not look good! As far as Mickaboo's veterinary expenses...I have to laugh. I guess you all don't have much of a clue as to how to work with a vet and as to what tests are needed and what veterinary medical practices are not needed. That is why you have such astronomical vet bills...helping some vets make a living I guess! A vet can indicate xx number of tests are needed...but they may not be needed. You need a little more knowledge about birds and vets. While you are at it, tell me how you see a connection between pet store sales and birds needing re-homing? I challenge you to make a record of WHERE the birds originated that you are being asked to re-home. You will likely find that these birds came from many sources. That is reality.

Elizabeth. Sorry I didn't get back to you. It was held yesterday. We had a long discussion, especially any alternatives the pet store owners had to offer, including the idea of somehow certifying certain stores to sell animals (similar in concept to taxi medallions, with a limited number of certifications allowed in the city and stringent requirements to get the certification), limiting any ban to national chains, having adoption fairs with various rescue groups at pet stores, pet stores taking small animals from ACC, and a ban that only applies to new stores (existing stores grandfathered in as long as owner remains the same). We'll meet next Friday, not sure when, to continue the discussion. We're hoping to get more rescues to attend that meeting. Would you be able to make that meeting? -- Sally -----Original Message----- From: Elizabeth Young Sent: Aug 1, 2010 3:12 AM To: Sally Stephens , Karen Watkins , Tammy Azzaro Cc: Michelle Yesney Subject: Re: Meeting w/pet store owners and others??

I'm hoping someone from ACC will be there (haven't heard back from them yet), as well as myself and Philip Gerrie. Also the woman from the WIngs Foundation. So, if a few from your organization want to come, that'd be great. The idea behind this is to just see what, if any, common ground there may be from various people involved in the issue and to brainstorm ways all the different groups could work together to save animals and increase adoptions. -- Sally -----Original Message----- From: Elizabeth Young Sent: Jul 27, 2010 4:00 PM To: Sally Stephens Cc: Michelle Yesney Subject: Re: Meeting w/pet store owners and others?? Hi, Sally- If it was anything that I could change/rearrange so that I could attend, I would but this is an immovable schedule conflict. How many pet sellers do you expect? Mickaboo would actually like to send a couple of people (if we can find folks that can work it schedule-wise). Are other rescue folks invited as well? e On Mon, Jul 26, 2010 at 9:26 PM, Sally Stephens <stephensfw(a)mindspring.com> wrote: Sorry you can't make it.

Got an endorsement of the retail pet sale ban from a retailer
by Karen Watkins 31 Jul '10

31 Jul '10

I went into the George store in Berkeley today and asked if we could use them as an example of a pet store that doesn't sell pets. They had rescue kittens from Milo Foundation in the store. The staff said the owner agreed to let us use their name in our campaign. Yay! I'll draft a letter and take it to the store next weekend for the owner to sign. They asked if we had a website to reference. I'll ask Marcy from SavABunny if the website is ready. Karen

SF Ban clip from Today Show: Unleashed Elephants?

Grim as I'm feeling these days, it struck me pretty funny that Animal Company Rick is apparently for unleashed elephants on Market Street. 8 / http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/26184891/vp/38444695#38444695 -- Elizabeth Until they all have homes, don't buy, don't breed- adopt. www.RescueReport.org www.MickaCoo.org http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGjyooh3Yo0
