Juliana, What would be the cost of neutering and vaccinating just ONE ferret? (Add in the cost of the recouperation time and care before being ready for adoption) I'll just bet that there are some FML folks (like me) that would be willing to *sponsor* one of the 17 little ones, even people that couldn't adopt one of them. Anything (in my opinion) is preferable to euthanasia, no matter how humane. Sounds as if these could be wonderful pets for some loving hoomins! Mary Parker PS....Either post the details of the cost here, or e-mail me directly. [Posted in FML issue 4588]
