From what has come accross to me is that the guy sold all the ferrets he could to someone in Germany and those of his ferrets that had reached an age where they would not produce more young then he culled them, the fact that part of his buiness is for breeding for the fur trade and that seem to get on some peoples tits because they do not agree with this part of his buisness. Which once again goes to show that Soren loves his wallet, not his animals, I'm sure there are plenty of people who would love to give a retired ferret a new and happy home, as a ferret instead of a fur coat. If he was interested in the welfare of his animals, he would know how to find them. Stephenie Netherlands [Posted in FML issue 4800]
