Hi Troy lynn, I just want to let you know how happy it makes me feel to hear your views on purchasing pet store babies :-) I feel the same as you do, I don't think that the deaths of baby fuzzies is going to stop these pet stores from purchasing more!!!!! I cannot in good conscience let these babies die, it is not their fault that they were born to make a profit for pet stores. It really upsets me to think that any fuzzie owner would feel as such. I think it would take more then hundreds upon hundreds of babies to die for pet stores to even think about no longer purchasing them!!!! So, like any good ferret mommy would do, if the need arises I will keep purchasing these babies and save them from a fate worse then death!!!!!! Just like Hope's mommy did for her purchased her first then took action. I don't think she would have been able to do less then that. SHE IS AN ANGEL!!!!! Lots of Love, Dawn and the Terrible Two's Gang, Trouble, Rosy, and Fat Boy Joey :-) Still Missing my Tazy Terribly !!!!!! [Posted in FML issue 3820]
