\/ 00 <snip>
But as you stated, you had an HOUR long interview with these people and they got your words wrong and with all the editing they took that hour long interview and made it into 2 minutes. \/ 00 As someone who has given hundreds of media interviews (newspaper, radio, and TV)I am not surprised at all that Erin was misquoted and the story got its facts wrong. The fact the the interview was an hour is probably one of the reasons. An hour interview is a LOT of material, and it was condensed into a story that was 2:18 long, AND only featured Erin in 35 seconds of video and about 15 seconds of audio. As the interviewee, you of course have no say what goes into the finished piece. As for those interested in "getting the facts straight", you're preaching to the choir here. We know the facts, and of course we want information going out to the public to be factual. If newbies come here for info, they should be in good shape. If they are depending on a 2 minute news story for their only source of info, they already have problems. BTW, I believe the story also got facts about (PPP) Perfect Pocket Pets incorrect. It is not $600 for a single glider, but $600 for the glider, cage, your "2 year supply" of food, and a pouch (at least that's what my son got and paid a year ago for his). Again, I think Erin did a commendable job and it accomplished two important goals - it brought attention to the issues with (PPP) Perfect Pocket Pets, and it provided an alternative viewpoint about sugar gliders. For that alone, this was a great piece. Yes, they got their facts screwed up, but it happens all the time. Also, I just checked and the video is still #3 on their Most Popular story list. No link needed - Google CBS Tampa, and 10 News is the first result. Go to the page and look for the Most Popular section just below the Top Stories.

Erin, you did a great thing. No need to defend yourself at all! Thank you so much for getting the word out about this problem! If anyone here has a problem or disagrees with anything you said then maybe they should get up off their bottom and go out and do thier own interview.

Amazing interview! But wow, that's so disgusting to see them being thrown around in malls. I really feel bad for those little guys going through that.

I really didn't think that I could get anymore disgusted by (PPP) Perfect Pocket Pets, lo and behold, watching them have these little ones glide in the middle of a mall has in fact made me MORE disgusted. Great interview Erin, you did a fantastic job of bringing to light the reality of owning a sugar glider! P.S. I did a search and found several threads that mention that a glider can self-mutilate from stress, so I think you were right on!

Please do not take this the wrong way, I am not voicing an opinion on (PPP) Perfect Pocket Pets or what they do, but just want to point out a few things so we can be comforted a wee bit. While many of us do not condone the selling tactics or advice of (PPP) Perfect Pocket Pets, the gliders are not really being "thrown round". While I dont care so much for the "impulse buy" in the malls, the gliders we see gliding in the mall ARE their own pets. I tried to do the same thing at my church to show a sunday school class what they could do. But Arwen was too nervous to "perform". The (PPP) Perfect Pocket Pets guy's pets appear quite used to this environment. As for Erin's interview. I have also been involved in an interview when I still worked with the wolves. It is easy to have things "taken out of context" and to be misquoted. I also liked the mini interview with the teenager and her mom. From a practical and unbiased standpoint, I think the teenager made a bigger punch, since many times it is kids asking for these pets.
