Hi folks- we had this message sent to us at Critter Camp by a concerned
girl in Louisiana- figured it was best to share here (she said it was
ok) and see if any local folks know more:

"i have something that i want you to hear, in louisiana there are very
many people who do not know about yalls emergengy help program and are
letting their pets go into the wild. for instance i got my first ferret
from these people my dad used to work with and they told my dad if we
didnt take it they were going to let it go to the wild or cook her. we
took her in a heart beat and found out that she was part of a bonded
pair (we have no idea what happened to her friend) and to cope she
started to yank all of her hair out. this was a few years ago but she
just started to get her hair back. there is also a ferret rescue place
in baton rouge ( wuggie wescue) where we had tried to get her a new
friend but that guy was insane he said it was normal for ferrets to
fight and draw blood, and he would take them and pick them up by the
scruffs of their necks and swing them and do the same with their tails.
there is no place around here that does anything like yall do. i would
like to see a place like critter camp around in the future and would
love to help any way i can. brittanie"

So is anyone familiar with this rescue? Any suggestions?
