well said stephanie, i agree with what you posted reguarding angora ferrets, i know very little about thenm other than they are fraught with faults, as you say why breed an animal full of defects, you only have to look at the cat & dog world to see the horrible examples there, is this the road we want to be taking . i dont think its ethical to breed any animal unless you know the genetics & know your stuff, ask yourself would you buy a car that was faulty, & wouldnt you demand your money back, [Posted in FML issue 4330]
