Results of knee-jerk banning, right in my backyard

In December, the city of St. Paul MN banned Sugargliders as pets, this was a preventative banning, not because their harmful or pests, but because they have specific needs and - "It’s hard to tell in advance whether someone will be a responsible pet owner" -

So... because of this violation of the freedom of choice, some people who currently own sugargliders in St. Paul waited till the first thaw and "released" them into the wild. Their choices are slip, because most of the humane societys around here are euthanising the gliders when their brought in. Unfortunatly the winter has been long and severe and the thaw didn't last, so many died when the frosts returned or were injured (ears & tails snapped off) by frostbite. Additionally, because the winter has been so long here, the insects are not as abundant as normal, and the sugargliders are starving to death.

How do I come to be posting about this? Well, one of these abandoned babies is hiding in one of the big trees in our backyard. It's starving, so hungry it's eating the birdseed from the birdfeeder. I'm about to go out back and hang up a cage with some treats and a lil safehouse in it to try and catch this little fella.

I've contacted the local paper and spoken to the reporter that wrote a story on the banning back in December. He's going to look into it and probably do a piece on it next week. Hopefully that will have some kind of impact but... we'll see.

I meant to leave a comment as well, but work was full of gremlins today so I was kept pretty busy with a stick trying to beat them out of the door.

Please tell Jane I signed the petition and think it's great she's spreading the word. Hoorah!

DA is kind of like your fairy infestation... charming, even amusing at first... and then the weight of maintaining it starts setting in, and you find it to become more of a burdan that you bare (or possibly bear if you live in a forest).

We'd like to stay in touch as well. Enjoy your rush of DD fame, I'm glad for you! One day my work might reach such lofty heights :)

Your right I did arrive here by accident but now I'm here I kind of like it. I'll get back to you and your other half just as soon as I can. I'd like to stay in touch with you both but just now I'm wearing my typing finger to the bone answering messages after "Wizard in the Runaway Chair" got DD. Now I know how that old wizard feels. :)

The watch is a pleasure dear sir, I never liked Wind in the Willows but I always loved the pictures, so imagine my delight on finding my favourite childrens illustrator had somehow made a mistake and stumbled into this strange place.

Thank you for the compliments on Angel as well! :)

I thought I had you in there already! I think DA keeps deleting people occasionally because I'm always having to re-add :)
