snake ban supporter? OT

Krystal_R Apr 06, 2010 02:35 PM

Just thought I would share.

A friend sent me this because last summer my dog was bitten by a rattlesnake and unfortunatly she did not survive. I had to read it twice, besides the fact this guy is calling venomous snakes poisonous, he says that he is writing about the danger snakes pose for dogs, not venomous snakes..just snakes? so im wondering that he is probably a snake ban supporter, and if he gets published it will not be a good thing.

Summary: Seeking dogs bitten by poisonous snakes

Name: Peter Barnes (National pet magazine)
Category: Lifestyle and Fitness

Email: query-7pe@helpareporter.com

Media Outlet: National pet magazine

Deadline: 07:00 PM EST - 8 April

Query:

I'm writing a feature for a pet magazine about the danger snakes
can pose to dogs. To better tell this story, I'd like to speak
with a dog owner whose pet was bitten by a poisonous snake. If
you'd like to share your experience, I'd need just 20 to 30
minutes for a phone interview and, If possible, pictures of the
dog and permission to contact the vet who treated the
animal. Thanks!

You might want to set him straight !

Help him with the proper terminology he obviously knows very little about
the "snake" (poisonous Snake ha ha)aspect of the story

First thing he should learn is proper terminology

as in "Venomous" Snakes

Make certain he's only writing about Dogs and Venomous snakes
