We just read some horrible news over at Forever Homes For Everyone.
Michelin North America has their U.S. headquarters in South Carolina. Many employees there have been taking care of the strays and the feral cats for years. No longer. Employees at the facility in South Carolina have been told, in part:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notice regarding campus cats….due to the increasing number of cats on the campus, all cats will be humanely collected on January 15th and taken to the Greenville Animal Shelter. Currently we have 5 kittens and several adult cats available for adoption. If you are interested, please contact Jane Rainwater 864-422-4239.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is important to point out the the Greenville Animal Shelter is a KILL facility.
This is the email we had Mommy send
Please do not send the cats living on your campus to a kill shelter. There are other alternatives.
There are two NO-Kill shelters nearby
Pet Haven of South Carolina &The Critter Connection
Also you should consider Trap-Neuter-Release
You can visit Ally Cat Allies for more information about allowing the neutered and spayed cats to continue to live on your campus.
Please show some compassion to these defenseless cats.

CALL TO ACTION: Email the Michelin Corporate folks and tell them just what you think of their corporate image. You can email them here: Michelin’s Corporate Citizenship Email, or better yet, give them a call and let them know what citizenship grade you would give them. Do what you can to call attention to this situation before it is too late!!!

I hope there are lots of messages to Michelin about using alternative methods to take care of the feral kitties.
We saw this yesterday and sent an email to them - no respose yet. I know that I need tires for my car soon - not going to use theirs, thats for sure.
We will send them an email too.
We will email them too! Our mewmie always buys M tires, and she will let them know she will change her loyalty if they don't wise up!
