Much talk about Seattle Petco stores and anguish over sales of itty-bitty ferret kits to general public. 1.) Itty-bitty kits will continue to be sold by Petco stores for as long as a profit is realized. 2.) General public not too knowledgable about ferrets. 3.) Itty-bitty kits are cute, cute, cute. 4.) General public loves cutie pets, especially little frisky jump-abouts with black beady eyes. 5.) ???Question??? How to educate general public about pet store ferrets before purchase? ///Summary/// If you can't educate the general public about pet store ferrets, and it seems obvious that that can not be done by all the anguish on the FML and on the FHL, then what do you do? Join PETA, the ASPCA, the HSUSA, the anti-WTA? Noooooo, Noooooo, Noooooo, and Noooooo. +++Answer+++ Let's hope that Sandi Ackerman and Danielle Frye have an answer. PS. Viewed Sandi Ackerman on Seattle local TV news today as an advocate of rabbit rescue and the near hopelessness of educating the public to refrain from releasing their pet rabbits into the great outdoors. Bless her heart. So many rabbits, so few responsible rabbit owners, and oh!... so many hungry ferrets [sic]. Hmmmm. Does the same thought come to you as comes to me? Noooooo!
