outright or not sheds a bad light on ferrets shows.*

*Again in my opinion by pinpointing that picture Barb places a lot of
doubt and uncertainty on what happens when you get involved in ferret
shows.  Indictment may be a strong word.
 
The picture of the ribbons made me angry too.  I guess I just felt that
it was odd in my opinion to pinpoint that picture over others featuring
decomposed ferret carcasses.  Those pictures are the ones that brought
me to tears and made me want to strangle someone.  How anyone could do
that to any living creature is beyond me.*
