Amy Greenhut Justrock German Shepherds Gen Oak Leopard Tortoises &  Tortoise Rescue Behold The Turtle,  He Makes Progress Only When He Sticks His Neck Out A Quote By James B. Conant ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: "Mike Horarik" <Mike.Horarik@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: genoaktortoise@xxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, May 7, 2009 4:46:32 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: Fw: Merchandise Questions Amy, Thank you for your feedback.  The ad you heard is part of a nationwide campaign for which we have received a few comments from some concerned parties.  The intention of the ad was not to advocate violence toward animals. At this point, Northern Tool has chosen to remove the spot from airing on the radio.  Thanks again for your comments.  Mike Horarik Sales Supervisor Direct- 952.882.6936 Mike.Horarik@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx genoaktortoise@xxxxxxxxxxx Sent by: Hal/NTEDOMINO 05/07/2009 12:25 PM Please respond to genoaktortoise@xxxxxxxxxxx To Hal18/NTEDOMINO@NTEDOMINO cc Subject Merchandise Questions Message From: Amy Greenhut I have become aware of an advertisement for one of your nail/staple guns being used to chase a cat away???   I surely hope that this person was wrong about this information that she has forwarded to a whole lot of people.  Northern Tool has a good reputation and I have purchased tools from you before.  If this is your advertisement which I find very hard to believe you need to end it right now. Advertisements like this are only going to encourage people to hurt innocent animals  Thank you. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
