Hello all. Saw a program on TV last night. The name was "Pets Behaving Badly" Kind of a "Candid Camera", but the pets were BAD. One segment, a barking dog was moderated by natural therapy, and a change of diet. Another, a shy, filthy pony was given a make-over. The bit I tuned in to actually watch, was a 'segment 'about a ferret lady, who had 8 or so furballs. It consisted of a ferret stealing a tomato, and trying to put it under the sofa, and the furballs climbing allover the refrigerator, and in the dishwasher. Comment was that this woman tolerated this behavior when she would not let her skin kids get away with that. Words will be spoken to the program. With MORONS like this on both sides of the camera, is it any wonder that there are so many ferrets in such poor shape????? We have to EDUCATE people that ferrets are a LOT of work, but return the hard work with love. Programs like this will only serve to continue the misconceptions about our pets. Will also mention that their program was NOT favorably reviewed on the OZ list, and that I, for one, will not tune in again!!! (I have cable!!!!) krissy, now off the dizzying height of the soapbox!!!!!! Forest Hill, VIC Australia [Posted in FML issue 2988]
