Why did we do it. What made us decide to become a registered charity.? Was it for the fame? NO. In fact we have had so much flack from suposedly ferret lovers you would not believe it. Are we going to make radical changes ? I doubt it very much. as we are just one voice and what changes should be made will no doubt come in time any way, as more and more members of the public learn about the 'Ferret' as a pet in the UK. At the momment there are not many kept just as 'Pets' most are working ferrets. We did it so that the local public would see us as a dedicated unit that care for the WELFARE of the ferret in our area and would have more confidence in helping us to help 'THE FERRET.' Are we going to join in the witch hunt as we have been urged to do? NO. NO. NO. we are not interested in others views or politics we will continue to quietly get on with what we have been doing for three years now. part of that time out of our own pockets as just another ferret lover and then joined forces as DFW to raise money for vets bills. Now we have the chance to get suport from local companies. Now they may listen to us when we ask for their help. I just hope that others who care for ferrets will follow in our footsteps and we will wish them good luck. some one had to be the first and it just happened to be us.. Bless all those out there who take on the ferrets, be they for re- homing or not because at the end of the day they hopefully will be giveing them a quality of life that they may not have had before. If our goverment wish to bring in rules and regulations then they will do so regardless of what the British public think. Lets end the back biting and get back to takeing care of each other and the furkids. Ann Badnadge Bless you and Blessed Be.. Ann [Posted in FML issue 4428]
