I am not here to take sides.  I have both Marshall ferrets and Ruby
ferrets.  All together I have 9 ferrets in total.  I have been reading
through some of the posts regarding some of questions people have about
Marshalls.
 
"Why do they sell ferrets to research labs?"
Easy answer...if their weren't any research labs all over the world
regardless of what animal is being tested we wouldn't have cures for
the deadliest diseases down to the medicine for the common cold.
 
Blaming Marshalls for the increase of insulinoma and adrenal disease is
a far fetched argument.  All ferrets regardless of what farm they came
from are susceptible to these diseases.  They are hormonal challenged
once their are spayed/neutered.
 
The internet can be a dangerous place for lack of information.  Making
keen judgments at something that is so easily disliked, but yet we
continue to support what we think is wrong.  For those who continue to
voice their opinions...continue on...But I would take a trip to Marshalls
Wolcott, N.Y.  Report back what you found.
