This is looking more political all the time.  Ironically the breeder most
recently complaining about this was involved on the other side not all
that long ago.  Need details?

Many shows are fun family oriented events.  Why should one family be
excluded?  Aren't the children of those involved, all of those involved
the future of ferret organizations?  Won't those children excluded over
your biases grow to resent the ferret shows that they are not permitted
to attend because you think "fun" should be a "job"?
 
>Most shows are too long and boring for most kids.
 
Perhaps that is a problem with those shows.  They should do more to involve
all ferret owners.

This is a statement exactly in line with the politics of destruction from
the AFA/LIFE ADV witch hunters.  Attack Warm Fuzzy and over play the
disease aspect of rival shows.
 
The set up in question was for use in the fun match events.  Not a play
pen for use between events.
