Dear Jeff, My name is Isabel. How are you? I watch your show all the time, and I like it. Do you have time to come over for dinner? Love, Bella
(Above was transcribed by mom on behalf of Isabel, age 5. The other day she said after watching your show that she wanted to invite you to dinner. I went to your website to see if you had any lectures planned in our area, and found out you are going to be in San Francisco this weekend! We are very excited - we will be in line at the Expo on Saturday to get a book signed! Thanks for doing a great show - it's literally the only thing I let my daughter watch on TV - Heather).
This may be beyond the scope of your topic today, but if you have any thoughts, I would appreciate your reply. What is your feeling about wildlife rahabilitation of non-endangered species? There seems to be some controversy that it serves no purpose as there is no resulting beneficial effect to a species. However, isn't there sufficient benefit from a public education point of view from rehabilitating and releasing these animals?
