I really like the way you worded that.  It disturbs me, too, to see people
giving up their ferts.  As far as I'm concerned, when you adopt a ferret
you make a commitment for the life of that ferret.  The addition of a
human baby doesn't alter your debt to the ferret nor does a new apartment
that doesn;t allow them.  They have bonded with you and love you with an
unquestioning love and there is no way they can understand that you
thought "It's better for the ferret." Bull hocky, when someone says that,
I think they are just too lazy to fulfill their commitment.  Thanks for
saying it better than I could.
 
Folks, if you aren't prepared to commit to a ferret for the life of the
ferret, get a damn goldfish or something.
