Happy Trails, Brookstone Snails

Posted by Guest Blogger at 2:14 PM | Permalink | 1 Comment


Happy Trails, Brookstone Snails by Guest BloggerYour calls and e-mails truly make a difference. Case in point: Snails who were the designated “janitors” of Brookstone’s plastic boxes of filth, aka “Frog-O-Sheres,” have been retired. We’ve just received word from an insider at Brookstone that snails will no longer be included in any Frog-O-Sphere shipments. Because of your hard work, countless snails will be spared life in the tiny, toxic tanks.

(Let’s pause briefly for your pat on the back/cartwheel/victory lap around the office.)

OK. That’s good work, and this victory is a step in the right direction for Brookstone, but we still need your help to free the frogs from these miserable, inadequate tanks. The company recently appointed a new CEO, Ronald Boire, so your voice is more important than ever. Please send a short, polite letter to him and ask that the company stop selling all live animals. Even if you’ve written to Brookstone before, write again to the new top dog.

Won’t you help frogs live “hoppily ever after”? (My apologies, folks. I couldn’t resist that one.)
