I do not think that anyone was saying anything about shelters not doing a good job at taking care of their ferrets. The post appeared to only be about Rose, LFFR and rumors and how she made money for her ferrets by selling her own bedding. Thank God for ALL Shelters and people like Rose taking in unwanted ferrets that even shelters cannot adopt out to help free up space for new ones. What is with the competition thing? Everyone is struggling moneywise. The economy is not good for many and there is a lot of competition for bedding out there if this is your worry. We all know what wonderful work you have done for ferrets and yes maybe your anger is due to the fact that you do not get the acknowledgment you so deserve. I am sure running a shelter is very stressing as is all the competition out there for money. Please do not allow competition to stop you from doing the wonderful work you do for ferrets. Life is too short to be so upset or take things so personally. [ET] [No, not the "phone home" one! BIG] [Posted in FML issue 4488]
