Sandee... i heard about a place yesterday that has imperfect ferrets EUTHANIZED when they get them in...the one i specifically heard about was a little blind girl...they said she had no quality of life being blind...there was nothing else wrong with her...so they had her killed....please look for her...it was in the last few days...and tell her i am so sorry...and can i love her from here?...i did not know anything about her before...and i guarantee if i had...and had known they would kill her for being blind.. i would have taken her in a heartbeat...i am sorry i was not there for her...but i did not even know her... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ FML friends, ferret lovers... i heard something yesterday that haunted me all night...i got virtually no sleep because of this haunting me... this place is a ferret association/club/shelter group...how can this happen?...no quality of life?????....give me a break!...i have a little blind girl, Princess Cissy... and if i did not tell you she was blind...you would never know...she has the run of 3 rooms...and no...i do not keep all the furniture and sleep places in the same places for her...i change things at will...she just sniffs out the places she wants to go and be... does this sound like no quality of life??? this place does what they call "triage"...selecting who might be adoptable and discarding the rest?????...that is what it sounds like to me... this is wrong...way wrong!!!...there ARE ppl out here who will take the "less than perfect"... please...if you ever need to turn in your ferrets to a shelter/club... whatever... check first if they are a "no kill" shelter...otherwise what you think you are doing "in the best interests of your ferret"...may be a death sentence... i know there are lots of horrors out there...but this is something that was totally unnecessary...she did not have to die...and she was killed intentionally...by those who were "supposed to be" her caregivers... please...just check if the shelter you deal with is a no kill shelter...if it is not...then re-think your choice of shelter to deal with... this place is not even in my state...i have never been there...and i will never ever go there...i am not saying who they are...just leaving it up to each of you who does/will deal with any shelter...check if they are a "no-kill" shelter... i can't believe they killed that little blind girl...:( kat --- KITY=^..^=KAT and the Kollektive http://www.geocities.com/ferretlover97 Rascal, Sassy, Wolfie, Monkey, Meeja, Pye, Noodles, Sandi, Hope-HollyHeart, Eddie, Lucky, Cissy, Uh-Oh, Jack, Sassy-too, Angel, Lefty-LuvBug, and "Sonny"!...
