At first it looked like they would turn it over to a sanctuary, now they 
won't.
 
Does anyone know ANYTHING/ANYONE that can help in that area.
 
Most agencies have been contacted previously, but no one is helping.
 
Does anyone have a contact with reliable media in that area that can help???
 
They tell all that the little guy is HAPPY IN HIS CAGE  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Please reply to Jenie below.

Subject: UPDATE - Wallaby in pet store - HELP NEEDED!


Sad update everyone - 
 
The store owner says Tyson isn't leaving the store.  The activist working 
very hard on this case called the pet store again today and got the girlfriend of 
the store owner on the phone, who is also the co-owner.  She took a message 
since the store owner wasn't in, but said that Tyson is staying where he is - 
the decision was made by the owner.  
 
According to her Tyson is very happy there which we all know is not the case 
- he would be much more happier in a more natural environment with other 
animals of his kind.  They did receive the pamphlet that was sent to them on the 
sanctuary that is willing the take Tyson, but Tyson is still staying where he is.
 
We need to elevate this to the next level.  Does anyone live in the are of 
Port Jefferson, Long Island - NY?  Does anyone have any ideas that we can use?  
Does anyone have the free time they can put forth to help us?  Any help would 
be greatly appreciated.  If anyone can get there, please contact me immediatly 
and I will give you an area to check also with a turtle that they had their 
in a tubberware box with no food or water and no room to turn around - the 
Suffolk SPCA was called on them but I never got a response back from them on what 
happened.  Does anyone have media contacts that won't believe what the store 
owners say about him being happy?
 
Please help Tyson!!!
Jenie
