Dear Disgruntled in the Corner I believe it to be irratating as well... BUT it was posted in several newspapers, complete with lists of offending animals... including ferrets It was just on a special news report on CBS about 45 minutes ago (it is now 11:12), and online... I don't think that it is good for them to group ferrets in that until they have done some testing... and from what I can gather there hasn't been much done they just grouped them all together when 30 or so kids got sick from playing with "pocket pets" like hamsters, mice, rats..... THANK YOU WOLFY!!!!! I was really glad to get to spend some time at the symposium since I didnt get to go! THANK YOU!!!!! THANK YOU BIG!!!! You are doing a great job!!!! It is appreciated....
