Someone wrote me privately...I responded privately, but want to respond publicly, too, in case anyone else is angered or upset by what I wrote. >Those ferrets in the stores need and deserve homes too. Yes, but if there wasn't a *market* for it, there wouldn't BE so many ferrets in pet stores...and that would lead to fewer in shelters, or abandoned. >Maybe you should think before blasting fellow ferret lovers. I did think, and I didn't blast. "Blasting" would have sounded like this: "anyone who does such-and-such is a jerk! A creep! Should be put in jail! Should be exiled to Siberia!!!" -- I didn't do that at all. I just begged people to think before giving in to their urges. That's all. Take care! Chana [Posted in FML issue 4269]
