Rebbecca asked about why people became "ferret" people. I can only speak for myself. As children, we had not only cats and dogs as pets. but many other critters, snakes,frogs, turtles, as well as hamsters, rats ect. We were taught to care for our animals. And if we mistreated ANY animal , we were in serious trouble. I learned to respect animals at a early age. I came to love ferrets about 20 or so years ago. When I got my first sprite. I have had a business ever sence. I have 4 at this time, But have had as many as 13 at one time. I have 4 cats, 4 dogs, and several finches. Now. I would be lost with out my critters. Sure cannot invision life with out them.. [Posted in FML issue 5274]
