I resent this statement. I am a woman. I have won blue ribbons with my
ferrets. I have not upped the price on my ferrets. Infact - I have lowered
it! What matters to me it that my ferrets go to good homes. I buy better
quality to improve the breed. I only keep the best of the best in the
litters I produce & alter the rest. I do this to provide good pets and to
better my breeding stock. I am woman & I care for the animal - not the
buck.
