Oh my!  I do not wish to start an argument in any way but seriously if you
had walked up to any human and said they were a lesser human because of
their unfortunate genes you would probably be knocked on your bottom.  Is
this what you are saying?  That because a ferret isn't healthy it makes it
<shudder> "Inferior"??  My first ferret (god rest his soul) was given to me
by a friend that could no longer care for the lil' guy.  He was sick and I
didn't know it at the time.  He was still very playful and acted very
healthy up until the day before he died!  I DO NOT think he was any lesser
because of his illness.  I don't know how you should catagorize ferrets but
saying "Inferior Ferrets and Superior Ferrets" just seems wrong to me.  I'm
not a doctor or an expert on ferrets so I could be wrong.  It is horrible to
say things like that about these great god given creatures.
 
Please excuse the length of this letter to all and forgive me if I seemed
out of line or rude.  I truly love ferrets with all my soul and I thank god
for every little one sick or healthy for bringing joy to us all.

Note: Don't catagorize your pets, you wouldn't do it to your family and
friends.
