Anne Di Bachman was banned in early 1998 after the details of the rescue that happened in January become public knowledge. She dumped 30+ ferrets on a brand new shelter - Ferretsr#1 - the old, the sick and the behavior problem ferrets. I was one of the many shelters that took in some of these ferrets, as well as one that detailed these problems with the officers of LIFE. So yes, both LIFE and AFA banned Diana Bachman from showing for life....I just wish that there was some time of license for animal ownership that could have been removed from her as well - as it appears that she had once again dumped on a system that is overburdened and underfunded. :( I have already sent funding to Barb Clay and will do whatever I can to help her absorb the cost of caring for these ferrets.
