This is condoning collecting. This Zoo is not a shelter, she is not deserving of any tax breaks. These are personal ferrets that she owns. She refuses to adopt out. Yet she asks for donations? I have 8 ferrets of my own. Anyone want to donate for their care and expenses? Of course not !! This woman is a collector and should try to get help for her obsession. These ferrets will suffer in the long run. Can we say Jen Morrison? There are many legitimate shelters that receive no tax breaks whatsoever. They put their heart and soul into finding good forever homes for the ferrets that need them. And each time that one is adopted it takes a little piece of that shelter person's heart with them. The article states that according to Zoo nobody but Zoo can care for or love these ferrets as well as she can, therefore she doesn't adopt them out. That is sheer bunk !!! This is a collector in the making. How can anyone support this woman? It's a disaster waiting to happen. And when the bottom falls out who will be the ones to pick up the pieces? The real shelters, the so-called "detractors". And these shelters will once again give their own money, sweat, hearts and souls to save the hapless ferrets that now are truly in need of forever homes. I think the buck should stop here, not at Zoo's Sanctuary. Millie [Posted in FML issue 3999]
