Myths, Lies, and Untruths

First, once again, thank you to our countless supporters that contacted us regarding the recent myths, lies, and untruths surrounding our foundation being closed. Fortunately, the information recently reported and posted at www.tmz.com is false.

Recognizing that this was simply an error, we have decided to proceed without legal action with anyone involved. We are fully capable of moving on without additinional recourse.

On a positive side, the recent coverage relating to the story has driven our web traffic significantly. The clear benefit is that more of Mother Nature's children will now be aware of the dangers of exotic species being introduced into the wild - specifically, of course, the dangers that the purple spotted hairless platypus present.

As a point of clarification, the Foundation of the Purple Spotted Hairless Platypus has not closed due to lack of funding and gross misappropriation of funds. We believe that there has been some confusion with our foundation and another that recently closed possibly due to those factors.

Due to a general similarity in names, we can understand the confusion. Another foundation that recently closed is the Foundation of the Purple Spotted Hairy Kangaroo.

For additional information and/or media inquires, please feel free to contact me directly.
