I just recently joined the FML so I'm not sure where you have been but I'm glad you're back. I agree with you 100%. There will be no more pet shop ferrets in my house. I'm tired of having to my heart ripped to pieces watching them get so sick. I have 2 more MF ferrets left in my household both sick and one that had left for the bridge on 3/8/04. (Sandee ferret if you're reading please check on Chuckie he was blind and sick with insulinoma and adrenal problems.) I've even had pet stores him-haw when I asked where their ferrets came from knowing full well where they came from. Keep up the good work. Lisa [Posted in FML issue 4450]
