Absolute statements are usually problemtaic.  Absolutism in beliefs can
force one to be a hypocrite.  Some hyperbole will follow to make a point...

Then tell Jeanne Carley that you can no longer support her efforts for
ferret legalization in California.  Jeanne is working far too hard to
dump on her for her being willing to use the assistance of any compnay
that will help her.
 
Marshall Farms is also doing its own work to legalize ferrets in California
so does that mean you side with their opponents the Ca F&G?
 
Marshall Farms did talk to Dr. Willard while he was designing Totally
Ferret so will you now stop using that product?  I don't know the
relationship between 8in1 and Marshall.
 
And you'll have to stop vaccinating your ferrets as all approved vaccines
came from companies associating with Marshall Farms.
 
Stop buying Cheweasels; there is a business relationship there.
 
Marshall Farms has associated with Pam Troutman on many occaisions, so will
you tell her you won't do anything that helps her.  And since she has in
turn helped at some point almost every ferret shelter in the country
(world?) are you now saying you can not support shelters?
 
Marshall has supported ferret shows from LIFE and the AFA so stop attending
ferret shows.
 
Nearly ALL ferret products are in some way associated with Marshall Farms.
Well in the US anyway.
 
>but 'guilt by association' is the way of the world.
 
Not *OUR* world.  That is a VERY scary belief you espouse.  Makes us think
Of Sen. McCarthy - not a happy time in US history.
 
Marshall Farms has done FAR more FOR ferrets than almost any other company.
Sorry if reality doesn't match what you want to be true.
