Hello all! Well, for once I'm posting as a response to someone else's post instead of telling you guys about my little fert, Trixie! I was very upset to see the post about Kista Ferret Shelter and the rude comments made by this poster. (I'm sorry I'm a few days late ~ getting ready to leave town.......) I can't believe this person would say that Kim shouldn't care for animals because she had done drugs and drinks alchohol. Sure ~ she likes beer? What's wrong with that? It's not like she's going around and feeding the ferrets with a beer can in her hand! So many people have written in and testified about Kim's businesslike and caring manner with her parents and she seems very knowledgeable and professional about what she is doing. I don't even know Kim, and I like her and trust her to be a good person just by the things people know about her FIRST HAND. And also, regarding the comment that people who use drugs and alcohol shouldn't care for animals ~ who's to say animals are not the very BEST therapy in existence for people who are really suffering from these things? Animals give people enjoyment, love, and a reason for living. This little creature relies on humans for care, love, and shelter..........and that is something that really gives me, personally, a great feeling of belonging ~ I feel needed......and that is perfect in my eyes.
