I too would vote with my money. I would also call the a.s.p.c.a about this and the Humane sociaty as well. It isn't fair for these critters to suffer and we should all do our part as the ruling species on this planet to do something even though it may seem a bit over whelming. I know that you may have some trepidation over this but put your self in any animals place, no really do it, wouldn't you beg for someone do DO SOMETHING. I did it myself when I went to a pet store and saw birds in FILTHY cages that had rusted out bottom grills that the birds came in contact with and cloudy " I mean like funges" water dishes. I called them in and felt a lot of relief. I even went back about a month later to check and all was perfect. The birds even seemed happier. I felt so great about what I did then that I vowed to myself to do the same everywhere that I say animals not being taken care of by the only ones that they could look to in captivity to do so. I'm not a radical but I do love animals and when we have them in anyway but their own environment then it is up to us to make them as comfortable as we can. Please, help where you can too. You voice may be only one but it is better than none and when you tell others it multiplies until it becomes deffening and that is how change happens " with one voice". Good luck, Glider love and nibbles, Diana
