Hey everyone - I just wanted to let you know that your love and support really helped Pete The Moose out.  I recently got an update from the organizers of Save Pete The Moose and they went to speak to Vermont legislators recently and they were very sympathetic towards Pete.  The legislators are being very hard on Vermont Fish and Wildlife.  And according to the organizers "it looks like we maybe are winning one for the little guy."   And after that update Beth sent me another email saying tha...
