Hello, It's pretty sad when you want to help homeless ferrets and you get flamed for trying to do so !! I posted about having 2 tables at the mall at the Livonia garage sale I am going to sell ferret items at one table and non ferret items at the other, then I posted about giving the proceeds to 2 -Save Our Shelters. I also commented on being a good girl and not buying a ferret at the mall the other day. Well I have been flamed by the president of a Michigan ferret organization: 1st. I was accused of attempting to buy a ferret from the mall, which I was told was hypocrisy since I was doing an event and donating to the SOS fund. I did go look to see if the ferrets did have food and water, like I do every time, I go to this mall, I have been ask to check on ferrets at this same mall more than once by the same organization that flamed me!!! Also have been told that I should as an member of this organization that I had a chance to donate the $$ raised from this event to this organization and that I should of ask for flyers that belong to this organization to hand out and I could have been loaded their penny jar for donations, and that I could of donated $ to their General fund or their Medical ferret fund. But not doing all of this: To put it in plain English is Pretty Stinky!!! Kerry and Ada Gibbs (weaselpals) www.homestead.com/weaselpals/homepage.html [Posted in FML issue 3468]
