:::::: 02.04.04: Contest Cancelled ::::::

I wanted to apologize to everyone who had either taken part in or been upset by our recent efforts to find the best possible home for Rocket. As too often happens with the best intentions, the plans got tripped up by technicalities.

We thought we had made every precaution and secured every necessary clearance and authorization, but it's better not to take chances and just give Rocket up to an appropriate and certified rescue organization.

I hope everyone understands that we honestly wanted nothing more than the best possible home for Rocket and that we did everything humanly possible to do that. Thanks to everyone who contributed essays.

- Beck
