Hello my name is Karen...I am a first time writer to FML. There is a store here in my home town of Flint, MI that sells furniture, pet food, groceries, and is a dollar store. And also, this place sells animals, including ferrets. A friend of mine went there first and told me the ferrets looked way too young to be there. When I went a week later the conditions were even worse. There were 8 ferrets held in a 3 foot by 2 foot cage...with poop piled high in every corner and the littel pan full. The food they were being fed looked like to me like hamster food. I asked them if I could see one of them...the man then told me they were just fighting (we all know thats not true). The little guy I looked at had an overbite on his bottom teeth. One of his canine teeth were broken...and they were cutting into his top lip. I was shocked and very upset to see the conditions these poor guys live through. :( [Posted in FML issue 4468]
