Well not all, Tim.  There also have been decent chunks from private
individuals in and out of clubs/organizations, from pharmaceutical
companies, from vets, etc.  (Hey, it's something I've been a bit involved
in over the years...) One of the farms certainly HAS given to improving
ferret health care, and that's MF; if any of the others have I sure have
not heard of it from any funding foundations or researchers.  Do hope
that some others, have, though, and that more will.
