This same email was posted on the angora yahoo group, must be something of a form letter. Believe me, the emails that we have received from Soren do not say anything like what this email does. I believe his court date is scheduled for this week, so time will tell on the judgement of the court. It needs to be determined if he is a fur farmer or a pet breeder, with the requirements to be levied on which ever he has applied for. The email that I have states between 250 to 350 ferrets are put down each year and taken to the fur auction. I have not posted his entire letter on the FML as it was sent to me and I am not comfortable in posting it but the line above is a small portion of his email to me. The bottom line is all the animals at FerPharm deserve decent treatment and I do not believe that a person who gives decent treatment to his animals is brought up on animal cruelty charges, let alone more than once. This is not a witch hunt, just over 6000 people world wide that want to see that all the animals at FerPharm get humane treatment or get re-homed to people that can care for them. I know that there are many people out there that have worked diligently on this and would love to hear from them by posting on the FML and others that have opinions on this. [Posted in FML issue 4796]
