We do not post to the FML nor bother reading it because we became so
very tired of the holier than thou attitudes presented by too many
here.

We know Doug McKay personally. We have been to his ranch. It is not a
mill. That is a loaded description coming from people more interested
in puffing themselves up than actually accomplishing anything good.

Too many of the people we know of that pass them selves off as shelters
and breeders are actually worse than the people barely eking out a
living as farmers. When we see actual physical abuse - striking ferrets
hard for "attitude adjustment" - from the same people posing as ferret
angels it apalls us.

Ferret and mink ranches are not for the pampered prisses that think
ferrets are naturally indoor creatures. Nor are the slaughter houses
that provide the food that these people with no life experiences to
put these situations in actual context feed to their ferrets.

Those claiming to "rescue" ferrets from Doug McKay over the years have
made a lot more money off of his ferrets than Doug ever did.

The leaders of the clubs and organizations all over the country have
in our eyes been guilty of far more ferret abuse than Doug.

Doug is a kindly old man barely staying alive.

Those attacking him should be ashamed of themselves, but we know many
of them can no longer feel shame. We know far far too many people who
have suffered from the personal attacks hidden behind a facade of
"helping the ferrets". Too many are people who stab their friends in
the back over the smallest of trifles. These hooligans mob attack
anyone they feel the least bit threatened by, or who will not kow tow
to their whims. Then turn on each other if it will get them axtra kudos
from these online forums or extra trophies at rigged ferret shows.

Shame on you who join the mobs without knowing anything about the real
life of the people you so callously attack.

As soon as someone says they put "ferrets first" we immediately suspect
they are lying. Seen it far too many times.
