In a topic entitled 'Milestone for UK Ferrets...', a topic that should have been a celebration of a successful prosecution for cruelty to ferrets, Sheila Crompton felt it necessary to repeat the above allegation once again. As the person who actually made the complaint of professional misconduct against Matthew Fry, I can categorically state that Sheila Crompton's statement is untrue. And Sheila Crompton herself is perfectly aware of that, yet she persists in propagating this falsehood.
