Ferrets* <[log in to unmask]>
 
Does Ferrets* have a problem with people who run small ferret rescues?
If not why does he include in his sig file a URL that directs people to a
web site where they are advised not to make donations to ferret rescues
unless they are Registered Charities?  The above individual knows full
well that no ferret rescues in the UK are registered charities but he
seems hell bent on trying to prevent them from operating and giving
deprived ferrets a safe haven!!!
 
It has been explained to him time and time again that it would be counter
productive for the small rescues to be registered with The Charities
Commission, for a start they would probably sink without trace under a
pile of red tape.  The small rescues do not raise enough money in
donations to become Registered Charities - why is so keen to prevent them
raising the small amount they do get?  Most small rescues are run by
individuals who work 24/7 365 days a year to look after these ferrets.
 
Does he really hate ferrets that much that he would deprive them of
getting a temporary home, or even a permanent one, with caring people who
have decided to dedicate their time, love, and what bit of cash they
 
have to rescue unwanted, unloved and abused ferrets?
