Over here in the Uk we are just starting to have ferrets for pets on a big scale, but they still do not have any real value, except for the few who realy care. for example in the States you have to pay the equivalent of #UK75-00 for a furkid over here you get them from anything from "Free to good home" to about #UK20-00 in a pet shop. children are breeding them to get pocket money and then the inevitable happens, no one to have them so lets dump them. this is where the few who love them come in. again in the States there are ferret sanctuaries in most large states but over here they are few and far between. a group of us have got to gether in the midlands to care for the furkids and take them in and re home where we can to good homes. No animal is re homed unless it is first neutered or spayed. this is so they cannot be used in a breeding program , Now We have to fund raise to pay for vet bills, and all I am asking you for are some photos that you would not mind us using,. these are for Place mats and cards. and even to be used as clock faces. there are lots of cats and dog cards for birthdays and such but not many with a furkid on so we are hoping to open up this side of things at a fete at the local Blue Cross animal open day in august. Please help where you can, I will make sure your pets name is included on the photo that we use. Many thanks for your help in anticipation.. Eggy Annie [Posted in FML issue 4129]
