I really hate to read the posts when everyone is bashing each other but this has bothered me all day.These little animals are not disposible.How can someone live with not one but two of these precious creatures,play with them and love them, but when they get sick,ask someone else to take over the expense of caring for them and watching them die. These animals bond with their humans. I can understand maybe giving the first one up because of financial problems but when it happens a second time, there is no excuse.The second one should have been given to a forever home while it was healthy.I hope this person will never get another ferret because they arn't responsable people.The shelters are so overloaded with sick ferrets that somebody discarded because they got sick.sigh! I think I will go hug my ferrets, Jodi and the brat pack [Posted in FML issue 5196]
