I will make this a short as possible as I'm about to fall asleep. I received a call from a couple in Yellville Ark. There is a woman that has ferrets and exotic birds and is living out of her truck. THe animals are starving and ill kept. Animal Control is taking her dogs, cats and peacocks but told the people that they know nothing about the ferrets or birds so they won't take them. These people are so worried about the ferrets and birds, they called me for help. They found out that the woman in 1988 in nevada had over 100 ferrets taken away because of the conditions. I won't put her name on the list unless its ok by BIG. What we are hoping is that enough people can help take in the ferrets and the birds, AC will take them if they have places for them to go. The couple gave me permission to post their contact info so anyone close that can help please get in touch with them and lets get these critters into a safe place. They are in Yellville, near Mt. Home Ark. Their names are James and Heather Schroder, 870-427-2877, the e mail is [log in to unmask] I know the ferret peole will help the ferrets and I'm hoping someone will have a bird rescue contact close to help with the birds. Please see what you can do to help, they think she only has 5 ferrets left, so it won't be a big rescue, so it will be easier for a shelter close to they to help. If I were closer I would help, but in Las Vegas, Nv, its a bit to hard to help hands on. Please keep me posted if anyone gets the ferrets and birds, I will rest easier knowing they are safe. Thanks for listening, CJ 24 Carat Ferret Rescue And Shelter Las Vegas, Nv. [Posted in FML issue 4520]
