Hello again,
A few weeks ago I responded to an ad for a ferret in a local paper. I
thought I had the owner convinced to surrender him to me, but I think she
sold him instead. He was a six month old, intact male, that she bought
from a local pet store. The store had 2 other intact males for sale at
the time she got him. ( She had to get rid of him since her spouse was
allergic).
This is a store I seldom enter since I find it gives me the creeps, it
just seems dirty and unorganised with critters running all over, I had
never known they sold ferrets.
I'm concerned about where they're getting intact ferrets from and that
they are selling them, and for $125 for unvaccinated/whole animals. My
vet will give me shelter prices for any rescues I do. I'd really like
to be a hero and fight for all ferrets, but I just don't have the heart
right now. Who am I to give other people s**t? I'm just bummed since
I'm unemployed for the second time in a year due to layoffs.
Anyway, I'm willing to work with someone else on this, but I can't do it
alone.
The pet store is...
Wild by Nature Pet Centre 797 York St. London Ont
519-432-0299
Thanks again,
Lara
P.S.
Randy - I'm hoping to come down for the xmas party and want to bring my
Chaos to see if she likes any of the baby's there. I was looking at Sam,
and Barbie and Ken's pic's yesterday. I'd like a really special kid, but
Chaos does have to approve. I'll also bring some stuff for the kids.
Love ya
