The article has been available for months on the NFWS Web Pages so there
is absolutely no need to give you permission to make it available in .pdf
form.

Yes, do please post the RCVS response to your complaint against vet,
Matthew Fry.Your complaint is worth little without the response from RCVS
and their reasons for not ordering him to change his practices.  After
all, it is their opinion that counts.  I still feel it was a valid
comment that had your complaint succeeded, this vet could have decided
against making his vital contribution to evidence which resulted in the
first successful prosecution case for neglect and ill-treatment of
ferrets.  Would you like to add your congratulations to him for the
outcome of this case?  If not, why not?
