I'm quoting the entire paragraph that contains the wording that I and
others are concerned with.  Sukie has refused to respond to our requests
for information about the ferrets LOST.  "Lost," in the context that
Sukie used it implies death.  It does not imply that the ferret escaped
from the house because the wrong kind of Lupron was given to them.  We
have asked for information about these DEAD FERRETS.  We have not asked
about her morals regarding privacy.
 
I think it's pretty clear now, given Sukie's lengthy dissertation about
everything EXCEPT these LOST ferrets, that her original statement was
wrong and made just to be dramatize her point.  Unless Sukie wants to
repeat that ferrets have died from receiving Lupron, I can put this topic
to rest knowing that no ferrets have died because they were given Lupron.
