By gosh, I'm convinced.  Your disjointed judgemental ranting and overuse
of capitals have certainly changed the way I look at things 9_9;
 
You need to relax - calm down and accept that other people have a
different viewpoint, which is just as valid as your own, like it or not.
Especially when you're saying things like "the ferrets are fed Kibble
which is what they are meant to eat".  "Meant" by whom, the companies
that make pet biscuits?  People who think feeding raw meat is icky?
 
Whether or not dry food is a /better/ diet, it's ridiculous to deny that
it is an /unnatural/ one.  It sounds like you have trouble dealing with
the idea that your pets are carnivorous at all.  And hey, you can feed
your pets whatever you like - but you don't have the right to tell others
that their method of feeding is "WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!!" because you don't
want to admit that your pets are killers by nature.
 
Despite how cute and fuzzy they may be, despite how well you may keep
them contained (and I certainly believe that's the responsible thing
to do with cats in particular - but only to keep them from killing
endangered species and such, not to keep them from killing at all), you
can't deny what they /are/.  And while you have the right to raise them
how you see fit, yelling at other people about how your way is the only
right one is way out of line.
