Hi, All I just had to come out of lurk mode to ask and please forgive my ignorance, but. What is this Do Not Adopt blacklist on Yahoo that I have been reading about these last few days? Does anyone have the URL? I know it is on Yahoo, but I can't seem to find it. Just curious. I never believed in blacklists myself; they are way too easy to abuse themselves and be used by malicious and vindictive people or a perfect excuse to discriminate. Everybody's idea of taking care of fuzzybutts is different, just like raising kids. As Bill said, I found a thing or two on his list I don't agree with, BUT that does NOT make him an abuser of ferrets to be put on any blacklist! I'm sure his ferrets are very happy, healthy and he loves them with all his heart. I'm, also, sure there are things I do with my ferrets that Bill and others would disagree with. Like.if I took away the Sweet Wheat Puffs and Honey Nut Cheerie-O's that IS abuse and all my ferrets wonder why mommy is mad at them and not give them their treats. For the most part it is fresh fruit, Nanars loves his bananas, Miranda adores her orange wedges, Loki and Valhalla go for the concord grapes, Bupkes can't wait for his apple chunks and there is always juicy melon, raisins and peanut butter, enough to go around. But.once in a while they get their "junk" food too, just like the hoomans. [Moderator's note: That was Bob's list, not Bill's. BIG] If a ferret is healthy, happy, well feed, safe and warm and their only fear is that mommy will clean out the hidey-hole of their treasures because she really does need her car keys, then that is the ONLY thing that matters. Anyway, just wondering about this blacklist. Weasel and the AZ Hidey-hole gang [Posted in FML issue 4139]
