Why this petition matters

Started by Ken Atchison

Let us Sand Mountain people continue the tradition Sand Mountain Sam. Please do not allow the State game wardens to arrest the owners of Sand Mountain Sam.

"Sand Mountain Sam has been trotted out every year since 1993 to give his own prediction, akin to the Punxsutawney Phil groundhog tradition in Pennsylvania.

But this year, the radio station said Sam’s handler, a local pet groomer, was told by game wardens that having a possum as a pet is against the law. Any Possum Day celebration involving a live possum would result in arrests, the radio station said they were told" source WHNT.
