Many people DO buy ferrets from pet stores.  Even folks who take in
rescues should be aware those ferrets probably originally came from a pet
store.  Well, it seems to me whether they come from a shelter or pet shop
all ferrets deserve a good home, so love 'em and you can do no wrong!

thought tastes as simple as this: let me be a good animal today.
