So many on this list consider their ferrets to be their "children" and if this is true, then ferrets, as with human children have no say as to where they are born or who they are born to. Many children are unfortunate to be born into unloving homes. Many ferrets are born at Marshall Farms and other mills. Regardless of where they are born-child or ferret, they all need love! While I do disagree with some of the practices of the ferret mills, the fact remains that those ferrets need homes and love, too! It's too bad so many are blinded by tattoo's!
