An Action Alert from Second Chance Birds:
The Society of Parrot Breeders & Exhibitors (SPBE) has a fundraiser raffle going until December. The winner of the raffle will win...a young Cockatoo. This is extremely disturbing! Notice that the SPBE states that the winner must pay SHIPPING costs if applicable. To us, this means the Cockatoo, in addition to the general stress of captivity, may have to endure the stress of being shipped like merchandise. Anyone with $5 and a little bit of luck could get this innocent Cockatoo and do as they please with him/her.
From the Society of Parrot Breeders & Exhibitors' raffle page (http://www.spbe.org/Files/2008%20Raffle/2008_spbe_fund_raiser_raffle.htm):

Living, breathing animals are not prizes and in some states it's illegal.
Unfortunately, not enough states have adopted legislation to prevent it.
