Complain to an English vet whose name I don't recall.  There might be a
correlation between your inexperience with highly energetic European
ferrets as opposed to the more calm Americans or as you suggest you just
might be better at it.

You're surrounded.  Literally.  North in Gettysburg PA.  South near
Leesburg VA.  West is us near Winchester VA.  East (well and South) are a
few in Northern VA.  Further East is the Baltimore Ferret Club shelter and
a few others.  Most shelters in this area seem to have ferrets most of the
time now.  We in particular are still overloaded.
 
check the American Ferret Association web site for a good list of shelters

We don't feel a discussion with you will be productive.

This isn't a discussion.  You choose to attempt ridicule instead of
honest debate.  Just because we do not believe dishonesty is the correct
option in most cases.

True vivisection is gone..  The animal welfare movement works.

Apparently no use debating you.  Bye.
