I've been reading all the bs about the hush hush conspiracy that will
allow these folks to continue to keep doing what they are doing for
years to come.  The bs about 'other shows' allowing this and that.
Please, stop all the inuindo and state the facts.
 
The Millers are the bad breeders.  I personally haven't wanted to work
with them because I never considered them responsible.  They could never
get through a records check at the shows without some problem, shots not
up to date, records not with them, whatever.  Todd was an AFA judge but
the AFA decided not to renew his license last year.  The Millers have not
shown ferrets at AFA hosted shows for over a year.  I think the paperwork
has been started to officially ban them for life.  There Dawn, the truth
is out in the open.
 
I remember hearing from someone who worked with them about 8-10 years
ago.  They visited to check out a litter and came away saying the
conditions were deplorable.  Gee, guess things haven't changed in the
last 8-10 years.
 
Also AFA banned Glenda Greggs from ever showing at AFA shows.  She
apparently is the breeder working with the Millers and also bringing the
Miller's ferrets to sell LOS shows even though the Millers are banned
from showing with LOS.  That, in my book, is just wrong.  If you ban the
Millers then you should ban Glenda too.  This is not 'placing rescues'
this is selling kits for a breeder who is banned from your shows and
can't get in to sell them.  Nuff said.
 
So there you have it folks, I've removed the cloaks.  If the Millers have
cleaned up their act but still have 10 intact ferrets, guess what?!?!?
You will be hearing about this happening again real soon.  Count on it!
Abusers don't change, they just clean up every once in awhile to get the
heat turned off their backs.  Sooner or later they will always go back
to their old abuser ways.
 
Vickie, not afraid to go public, not talking on behalf of the AFA, just
my own 2 cents on the subject.
