I'm not on this list anymore, but I thought you might all want to see it.
This guy's name is Robet McCracken, I believe. Don't buy gerbils from him!!!

Subject: Sick and Dying Animals...
> I wanted to warn all you animal lovers about a specific place that I've

died.. I

And

Pet

investigating,

BIG

past

rabbits.
> My dear Hershey, Tribble (already found a home for him), and my newest

rabbits

where
