I think you guys are getting out of hand on this. Who are you to say it is right or wrong for them to sell ferrets. That is one of the things wrong with this country, a few people trying to tell every one else what to do. This is supposed to be a free country. Also, what if there are no petco's but a petsmart in a person's area? Then they wouldn't be able to get them if petsmart didn't sell them. What if there are no shelters within reasonable driving range: I know in my case there are only two shelters in the whole state and they are almost on they opposite side of the state from me. Also another good point is that a lot of the ferrets in shelters are a few years old, I think people are doing a great service by adopting these ferrets but what if you want a young one so you can develope a strong bond with your ferret. I think this is very important. To be able to develope a good bond with your ferret as he grows. Somtimes it is hard to do that with an older one. I not saying you can't with an older one. Also why aren't you attacking the countless pet shops that sell ferrets? There are petshops litterd throughout the country that sell them, and often are more neglected in these small shops. I'm not saying you guys are right or wrong but you need to stop and think about this.... [SA] [Posted in FML issue 4704]
