Were they Barbra's ferrets to start with? Under what law did the judge who heard the case allow the ferrets to be given to her? We all need to know THAT before we make any judgements. IMO, if hte JUDGE, who is there for the DISTINCT reason of making a decision based on the evidence and laws has said that Barbara is the owner of the ferrets, then that is the way it should be. Until I hear otherwise, I will say, Barbara, I support you! You have the law on your side and the other shelter is simply acting like a recent candidate for President and throwing a temper tantrum. I support a person for fighting for what she feels is right, and winning. If they have ht eLAW on their side, then they SHOULD fight as hard as they could for what is theirs Marta [Posted in FML issue 3269]
