I registered just so i could respond to the letter "Appalled by state of sugar gliders" in the star newspaper today. First I'd like to commend you in your concern and your effort to bring the plight of these lovely animals to the public. I'd also like you to know that you are not alone and there are lots of people who fight for the rights of these animals and all others everyday.
I noticed that the letter does not mention in which pet-store or shopping mall these acts of cruelty are taking place. This makes it hard for organizations like the SPCA to take action. This is understandable though, I guess you realized that the newspaper might not have published your letter if it had specifically named the culprits, fearing legal action. Anyway, please call the SPCA at 03-4256-5312 or 03-4253-5179 and ask for Ms. Sasi. She is the animal inspector and a true advocate for animal rights. She handles cruelty cases everyday. I'm sure she'll be more than willing to investigate.
