I know this will probably start a rash of flames and nasty emails, but I just have to ask: with all the concern we all seem to feel over the "unwanted" ferrets--the shelter owners of this list can attest to the mounting numbers of them--why on earth would anyone consider BREEDING. To me, that is just selfish and unethical. People have no problem going off on pet stores and Marshall Farms, and then in the next breath talk about how they are breeding their ferrets. Kind of a double standard in the gargantuan degree! debbi--and her house full of other people's discards (that includes cats and ferrets) [Posted in FML issue 2958]
