After reading several posts and comments I would like to voice mine. I
have met Di Bachman on a handful of occasions and I must sadly say I was
fooled too. I would have never in a million years thought that a person
was capable of such cruelty. At shows she puts on such a happy face. I
have judged her ferrets at shows and still would never have thought they
came from such a horrible home. It is common knowledge for most in the
ferret world that she has been in a situation similar to this a few
years back. She kept all her good ferrets and dumped the ones that were
not "show or breed worthy" on shelters. Does anyone know 100% that every
ferret she owned was rescued? Could she by hiding her "best" ferrets
somewhere else?
I am just in a state of shock here. Tears rolled down my face as I
looked at all the faces roll on by and then to have to hit the next page
was just agony. I was not suprised to see several listed ferrets as
being biters and aggresive. In all the years I have judged at shows I
have been bit badly 3 times. Each time by a Di Bachman ferret. I hope
to god those poor ferrets can be trained to be loving angels.
Now to the part I hope some people know the answers to. Is she going to
be charged with animal cruelty? Multiple counts? Whats the punishment
she can recieve? I know each state is diffrent but I hope Md has laws
to punish evil cruel people like her. I for one would like to cram her
into a small cage and let her rot.
Till next time
