Mama Bears, Get your Growl On!
Why, why, why is it still happening? I feel like stamping my feet and having a tantrum, but I can’t. The boys are asleep and it would wake them. Besides, it wouldn’t help, but maybe this will…
Yet again, another mom has been publicly harassed for breastfeeding. This time, on a plane, on her way back from spending time with her nephew in the hospital while he almost died. She was understandably, crying and unable to get her mama bear on, so we, the blogging community - the rest of the mama bear den - are standing up and getting our growl on.
Catherine at Her Bad Mother, whom I have quoted before in her fab defense of public breastfeeding, tells her story here.
If you would like to write an e-mail to the director of media relations of WestJet Gillian Bentley, this is her e-mail address gbentley@westjet.com.

Here is a link to WestJet’s Board of Directors: Based on their email scheme for the rest of the company, I would make a good guess that you can reach this list of white males by “first initial, last name @westjet.com” You know, just in case anyone had something to say to them.I will be writing some letters and I hope you will too. In 2008, for a woman to be so ignorantly bullied is reprehensible.
