I would have to agree with the way that the HSUS statement is worded.
Having a pet, ANY PET, is a heavy duty responsibilty. While I love my
ferrets, I know that they require more care, especially for your first
ferret while you you are still learning about the temperament of ferrets and
their special nutritional needs, ect. For a first time ferret owner,
ferrets can be overwhelming. They are WONDERFUL pets, don't get me wrong,
but if a few cautions keeps someone who is unprepared for the special needs
of ferrets from purchasing one, then I have to cheer. I hate hearing
stories of ferret owners abandoning their pets simply because they were not
prepared to care for them. I love ferrets, and I know that anyone who loves
them as much as I do won't be put off by knowing that they require a bit
more care(mostly due to their small size). Anyone who would be deterred
from purchasing a ferret after reading the new HSUS policy, probably isn't
ready for the committment of caring for one.
Just my thoughts...

"I like nonsense! It wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary
ingredient in living. It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end
of the telescope... which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at all
of life's realities." --Theodor Geisel (AKA Dr. Suess)
