Mary this is a partial post I found on the AFA message board from last
December showing that Galaxy D indeed had been tested for use on ferrets
with mink, the ferrets cousin.
 
But this is not a post that I wrote.  I asked you to forward me any post
that I wrote about Galaxy-D not being tested, since you stated I said
that and I didn't.
 
3. Galaxy D from Fromm D of which had been solely used prior to the
introduction of Fervac D, has been around for an exteamly long time,and

As I asked the original poster - please provide me references of this

effectiveness in ferrets but did not perform challange testing which
is required for USDA approval for licensing.
 
Your resonce was: "CORRECT, there was a test done at Tuskeege."
 
I guess I'm not following why you are sending me this post - which I've
already read and responded to on another list - none of these tests
provide enough proof for USDA approval, so it's a moot point.
 
Let's move on as we have already stated the facts for everyone.
 
Now I appologize for not privatly e-mailing you with this, but that
would defeat the purpose of posting anonimously.
 
Funny subject to have to post anonymously about....
 
Mary
