All this talk about breeders & their wrong doings made me think of an e-mail
I got recently. Some people that recently got a few ferrets from us asked
our opinion on a ferret that they got from a local breeder. This ferret
that they got from this breeder just bit the hell out of them - not nip -
bit & tore flesh, attacked the other ferrets (in & out of the cage), etc.
When the breeder was told this she told them to have the ferret put to
sleep!
I had a another person who obtined a ferret from me tell me she had the
same problem from a kit from the same breeder. Another person went to that
breeder to look at her ferrets. She left with out one & wanted to come
back, but the breeder told her she could only come out if she bought a
ferret that day.
This person is a respected judge & breeder. In my experience she has been
rude to other breeders, owners, and the "public" with questions.
I am concerned because she is out there telling people to solve a problem
she created by putting the animal to sleep! It's like she has a "let me
take your money" attitude!
What can be done about this? I don't want breeders like that giving the
good breeders a bad name.
