You are right of course. :-)  Everyone remember the Arcadia, Fredonia and
numerous other breeder rescues?  The posts on flea ridden, starving ferrets
rescued/bought from individuals?  And the shelters that never let their
ferrets out of the cages or consider sanitation to be cleaning the litter
boxes once week.  (yes, cleaning litter boxes is a pet peeve of mine.  After
going through ECE it only enforced my thinking on sanitation - which was
pretty strong to begin with.)  So very sad.
 
I'm working a particularly difficult shelter/breeder case right now and I
was so totally focused on that issue that I did't include the above.  Thanks
for pointing it out!
 
There can be good and bad in all.  But what do we do with the particularly
bad - the ones that are harming the ferrets?  Anyone?
