When people see cute baby ferrets in pet stores, where do they think they
come from?
 
It's clear that underage ferrets in pet stores is a real problem baby
ferrets are being shipped all over the country way too young to be away
from their mothers, some of them can't eat solid food, they're still
crying for their mothers
 
meanwhile, the mother ferrets spend their entire lives in small cages,
living only to breed, having their babies taken away from them way too
young
 
what will it take for people to stop supporting stores that sell very young
baby ferrets, who get new shipments in all the time to keep up with 'the
demand'?
 
what will it take for people to see the whole picture behind those cute
little underage babies?
