Well we all know I'm emotional. It's part of who I am. ;-) Simply, my post wasn't meant to discredit Bob's series or his love of ferrets. I wasn't referring descriptively to be manipulating or deceptive, only to share what I had seen in the articles I read on human CR when I was researching a different subject. I am somewhat impatient. Sometimes we do jump the gun, sometimes we take things out of context, sometimes we interpret information differently, and that is a concern when discussing alternatives in any ferret related field. My question on how to feed obligate carnivores was an honest one (remember I'm impatient). It wasn't meant as anything other than what the words say, no hidden meaning. I never intended to be hurtful. Thought provoking and cautioning, but not hurtful. Hugs to all. tle Troy Lynn Eckart, F.B.S.
