As is accordingly pointed out in the last communication from Teri ( shown
below) at AVAR I mis stated the organizations title -- it is in all
actuality Association of Veterinarians for Animal Rights. I do apologize
publicly for my incorrect statement regarding their organization. I do not
recognize that I attacked, but merely tried to state facts with Teri. We
may here more in the future, but for now I believe they are an organization
which makes a living from treating peoples pets, yet discourages pet
ownership, especially ferret ownership. I find them very interesting, to
ay the least ,and will not support their causes!

yes, definitely I disagree about legalization! The long term interests of
our domesticated ferrets would not be very long if they were to be released
into the wild on this continent-- would they BOB??? I will believe your
views first!
