Rowan and all others who don't want to be part of the problem: Yes, you are correct. Ferrets & the Ferrets USA annual are published by Fancy... And yes, I have personally heard two of the people who submit articles for publication to them say something to the effect that "the editor is a real pain" about what they include as informative or necessary. Do all ferret owners who bother to read for self-education and the people who write articles for them a favor by writing to the editor, Russ Case, P.O. Box 6050, Mission Viejo, CA 92690 and asking him to please quit giving his writers such a hard time about what "should" and "shouldn't" be included as being useful & necessary information. Thanks for pointing out the need for getting good information. Please be a part of the solution. Debi Christy [Posted in FML issue 2951]
