Happy Friday, Friends.

Last Saturday's WildlifeKillers.com launch in Boulder was a great success. Almost without exception, we were welcomed by those we encountered. And we had good coverage in the Daily Camera and Longmont Times-Call. Special thanks to Lorissa ArgoRay and Matt Bear. If you haven't yet checked out wildlifekillers.com, I suggest you go there... immediately!

Likewise, the Fur is a Drag demo last Saturday at Marks-Lloyd's Furs was well attended and, as usual, festive.

Thanks to everyone who participated in these events!

RMAD held an emergency meeting on prairie wildlife last night. Conflicts are arising in Lafayette, Superior, Longmont, Denver, Colorado Springs, Boulder, Westminster, and along the I-25 corridor, to name but a few. Our prairie friends are taking a huge hit right now. I've never seen anything quite like it. If you've always wanted to get involved with this issue but have hesitated, now's the time to act. Just call or email.

In addition to the efforts described above, RMAD responded to four prairie wildlife inquiries, four companion animal inquiries, and four general inquiries. Our team of volunteer legal advisors had its hands full this week. Special thanks to them.

One Person Making a Difference
Everyone who knows Dan Hanley knows he knows how to make friends. Ya know? Anyway, Dan's latest friends are the proprietors of what he calls the "coolest spice shop" - it's on Platte Street near REI in downtown Denver. Dan says they carry a boatload of "cheese" mixes that are 100% vegan and yummy. Stop in, say Hi, and tell 'em Dan and RMAD sent ya.
