In respnse to the annon poster: I am posting this annon because I know that it is going to ruffle some feathers. Not that I am not concerned with the people that have lost their lives in the L a. disaster, BUT...they were WARNED ahead of time to evacuate. They had a CHOICE to leave. The animals didn't. The only means they had for leaving were the peop le that they trusted to keep them out of harms way. Now, I am not saying that an yone deserves to be in the predicament that they are in, but neither do the animals. Besides, this IS a ferret group, and the ferrets, as well as other animal, should be helped. As far as I am concerned, a life is a life be it human or animal. God Bless all of you that are helping our furry little friends. (LB) [Posted in FML issue 4993]
