Monday April 10,2000 Iwent to Dr. Feldmans office at 7:30 am to get the report on his findings regarding the two little girl who had their teeth clipped and had the roots exposed. If I may Quote" It is abhorrent to me to concieve of the possibility that someone would intentionally inflict such cruelty on an animal, but in these particulat animals, it was quite evident that their injuries were just that, intentional and cruel." said DR. Feldman in his findinngs and letter to the animal control agency. I quivered with glee while reading it, knowing that it was going to affect somebody enough to do something about this lady who so cruelly hurt these two little jills. When I took the two jills in to the animal shelter for examination, with Dr. Feldman's report, I was brusquely informed that Iwould be surrendering them to the animal control so they could return them to their owner. Immediately, my hackles rose and I challenged the officer and told him I wanted to see his superior. the guy was just a trianee I was informed and when I explained to Kim the shelter director that I was upset because "he" wanted to sieze the ferrets and give them back, she called him and said no way was he going to do anything of the sort. I knew I had friends at the shelter for my work in the community with ferrets, but this was incredible! She explained that I was going to take the ferrets back to the shelter with me, and that if the lady wanted them from me, she would have to sue me in court to get them back, that this issue was out of their jurisdiction. I chimed in, I'm going to make her dance around a bush 50 times whil I'm at it. Went back to the shelter and reported the incident to Jeffco authorities and started an investigation. Later, several animal control agencies called me to inform me that this lady had been on their "list" for quite some time and after being admonished by a judge in Arvada that she would be mandatorily inspected without notice at least 6 times a year, she moved with out telling anyone where she was.Now they all know where she is and are cooperating in a joint venture to pick up where they all left off. Will keep you all informed on the progress of this investigation--stay tuned-same channel-next day!!! ferretguy [Posted in FML issue 3018]
