The original mailing was written by me because I was concerned that a
person within the NFWS Committee was thinking bad of my conduct with
e-mails and mailings to the FML

After talks with John Keen of CC, I was satisfied that all natural
ingedients and no "bulking" agents are used.  After advice, I have safely
changed my Ferrets over to Ferrets Choice.

Never said it was!

Do not put words into my mouth Mrs Crompton, I was merely saying that this
is what a member of the commitee was saying about my conduct on mailings.
ALL animal rescues have love for their animals and raise funds tirelessly
for their cause, you, of all people should know that!

I advertised for a Silver Mitt kit to join to my personal "business" of
Ferrets, It was thought of me(by this particular person) as a"cowboy Ferret
keeper" trying to encourage all sorts of person to breed multi-colour
Ferrets to sell!  Which is what we(as Welfares) try and educate people not
to do.
 
If I offended you, then it has been read the wrong way!
 
The people I like in the NFWS committee are Mary & John Neale, Ulrike
Hassold, Ingga & Thor, who all come across with the politeness, time and
patience to listen and help in a friendly way.  These are all I have ever
spoken to on the Committee that have been nice, and I'm sure others that I
haven't spoken to are just as friendly!
 
Goodbye.
