Hi Ernie,



Thanks for the info. At some point someone on our side is going to have to come up with a PR strategy of our own, or else it's all over. Maybe a website or video showing police taking away a crying child's pet lizard or hamster, and that Petco/Petsmart support this. At some point we have to stop being nice guys.



Thanks,

Ed

>>Even Peta can't put a dent in Petco's business but they are relentless and their high profile media campaigns make places look bad. No company wants bad publicity. The big chains don't want anything to do with Peta or any other activist organization but they know that's the cost of doing business. They pay to shut them up. Usually those payments come in the form of mutual agreements that help the company and the activist.
