I see there is still a lot of in fighting over shows and judges. My kids have never been in a ring nor will they ever be but to me they are all best of show and best of breed and they couldn't care less about a ribbon just give them a treat or some "tone" and they are happy. My thoughts on ferret shows compares to dog shows and even figure skating competition. Why is one dog picked over another even though it is not your favorite dog, why is one skater picked over another even though both routines were flawless? It is in the judges perception. No one is playing favorites as in the dogs competition, the judge would pick the type of dog she or he likes, in the skating if the judges were American only Americans would win. Judges are not perfect and they do make mistakes as they are only human as well, so in light of all the hardships going on with the hurricane victims and their pets and all the fur kids that are sick and need help I (in my opinion) think we should stop fighting over ferret shows and move on to helping one another with our fur kid problems Thank you Patrick and his six pack [Posted in FML issue 4997]
