Nice note.  Your type of people are not exceedingly rare.  We are that sort.
There are a lot of Americans (it is more common here thatn some other
places) that do "root for the underdog".  We, now that we run a shelter,
are quite grateful for folks that have your kind of spirit.  Actually for
"sales" or "fund raising" purposes it makes it easier to place older more
problematic ferrets AND generate donations by talking about how rare folks
like you and us are.
