People think Mickaboo is crazy and wrong for wanting to support a ban on bird sales.  We may not all agree on the solution but we all agree there IS a problem and award-winning animal welfare journalist Mira Tweti has articulated the situation exceptionally well in this article.

 

This is a FANTASTIC article- so comprehensive and supported and readable. Many of you may have already been familiar with this article but if not- I'd HIGHLY encourage you to read it and everybody- please SHARE it widely!

Also- Mira wrote a book on the subject (they're on sale at Amazon right now).  You can use that search feature to earn a donation to Mickaboo.

The next SF Animal Welfare Commission meeting will be at City Hall on Thursday 7/8 at 5:30.  I'm going to be there and Mira (who is flying in for it) will be too. 

 

All best,

Elizabeth
