Dear Everyone...
I received this email today and I thought all of us could get involved just by picking up a phone and calling our local golf courses...it's an atrocity what people are doing these days!!!!! It's beyond me where such cruelty can come from within. Please call and/or email your nearest Wildlife Control Agencies and Golf Clubs...these women need our help.
Thanks...
God Bless,
Catarina

I am writing this statement in response to the "raccoon incident" that occurred at The Westin-Innisbrook Resort on March 17, 2001.
My name is Jackie Pettay. I am the person who rescued the baby raccoon from the Island Golf Course at the Westin-Innisbrook Resort on Saturday, March 17th, 2001. If any further information is needed or anything in this statement is unclear, please feel free to contact me.
Statement of Jackie Pettay
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is treating Sweety's
case as a "criminal investigation". I was interviewed on March 29th by
Sergeant Meggison from the Commission. PETA, The Animal Rights Foundation,
The St. Petersburg Times, The Tampa Tribune and News
Channel 28 are among the phone calls I have personally received about this
raccoon abuse.
I want to thank everyone who has called or e-mailed about this incident. It is all of you that is making this happen. We will see results as long as we are persistent. There are people and organizations getting involved that can actually do something about these atrocities on golf courses.
Chuck Eade, the present Director of Golf at Innisbrook, contacted me on March 31st about putting signs on the courses and taking further steps to protect the Wildlife at Innisbrook. We need results like this for the sake
of Golf Course Wildlife across the country. Your continued support is needed. Keep the e-mails and the calls coming. The PGA, LPGA, USGA, and other golf associations and your local golf facility need to be added to your list to e-mail and/or call. If the Golf Industry knew allowing animal
cruelty on their golf courses would negatively affect their cash flow, they would be eager to implement Wildlife protection protocols. Loss of monies causes motivation.
Ask your local golf course if it allows golfers to kill or abuse the resident Wildlife and if and how they provide protective measures to ensure the safety of the Wildlife on their golf course. Choose to play golf only at environmentally conscious courses. Together, we can make a difference.
Sincerely,
Jackie Pettay
