We would love to have had some French exposure, but we are happy with the press we got!
In 2005 we were a Noisemaker: “Queen Rat: Jane Sorensen wants to save your rodent” Kristian Gravenor, Montreal Mirror, Vol. 20 No. 28, Jan 6-12.2005
We were featured in the Chronicle (West Island). “Rodent Rescue Squeaks By,” Wendy Smith, August 2006.
We were featured in Mike Boone’s column in the Gazette to promote Freaky Fridays at the Redpath Museum: “'Eek, a rat!' No, rodents can be friends" December 14, 2007
“Trio of treats from the Redpath Museum : … You (not so) dirty rats” McGill Reporter December 6, 2007 - Volume 40 Number 08
Lisan Jutras of the Globe and Mail interviewed us for “In defence of the smart and loyal rat” - February, 2008
As well as by Charles Mandel of the New Brunswick Telegraph Journal, archived here: “Where Year of the Rat is a lifetime” Thursday, February 7, 2008

The Reality of Rodents
The talk went very well, the movies were great. The producers of "One Rat Short" sent me a copy of the film and a press kit, which I used to help introduce the film by linking it to my talk.
Melonie and Sicero were on their best behaviour and let themselves be cuddled the whole time. I think Melonie, who is more shy than Sicero, would have preferred being with me or Sicero as we're familiar, but she stayed under a blanket with a little girl whose pet rat had died during the summer and spent some time sleeping.
Here is a good write-up to promote the event:

And I hope that several of the audience members, who spoke with me during intermission, will drop me a note. It was a pleasure talking with everyone.

About poisons and wildlife...
This coyote survived and miraculously was able to be released back into the wild. Most victims of secondary poisoning are not as lucky. The poisoning of any animal is cruel, and although these poisons are legal and readily available in lawn and garden shops across the country, they wreak havoc on native wildlife. People who use these products to eliminate rodent problems are causing sustained suffering and can inadvertently kill the very animals that would help control their rodent population. If predators such as coyotes were allowed to do their jobs, rodent populations everywhere would be dramatically reduced.
