>Agile, sounds like you have been out there, but how much were you

No one tried to stop me from seeing anything.
>We are in winter now, with wind chills below zero and frozen food and

I was there in I think May or June of 06 and Nov 06.

There was only a dog there when I was there in Nov and it was a well
mannered dog - none of the animals seemed afraid of it. I only saw it
when we first got there and I think it belonged to the mink person.
>Do you find ferts stuck between cages and unable to move in the
>freezing cold normal?
Certainly didn't see that when I was there.
>Do you find a loose ferret being kept back by a dog when trying to
>escape normal?
Didn't see that either.
>Sure, if they were all friendly and brought up in a loving home!
The ones I handled were friendly - one was too nippy but none were
biters.

I don't know where you get off calling me selfish - do you know me? I
don't think so :)
I am sensitive to freely giving away rights to the government though. I
am sensitive the anti-pet laws/activitists who want to pass laws which
would prevent me from owning the animals I own or breeding as I see
fit. I don't in any way promote restrictive laws which are a step
towards outlawing breeding or pets. IMO that is not selfish of me -
it's intelligent.
>I don't normally put people down like this and argue with people like
>this, but this is just too much for me.
Perhaps you should go back to not arguing or putting people down?
