Sorry. I just reread. The person who wrote about the Mckay Rescue does not want any emails. I sent what I just sent to the FML to her also. So I see now that she writes that she cannot respond to emails because she is flooded with ferrets. That would make sense. Is there anyone out there that can speak to this situation? Has anyone seen a contract where the family has agreed to stop breeding? They had so many ferrets and no room in their cages for them, and many pregnant. If they could not sell them all, they would dump a large group. They really only need 50 or so to continue on. I think this is the number I was discussing with someone who breeds. They had way too many animals there, with many pregnant. As i understand it, the offspring of Mr. Mckay are really only aware of how to do what they have been doing. They do not have jobs or skills to allow them to make a living any other way than this, as I understand it. The breeding in these horrible conditions is all they know, as it has been conveyed to me. So if there is no legal contract stating that the entire family is never going to breed ferrets....I think we deserve to know that. There is a difference between being an enabler for these people to go on while rescuing the ferrets these folks have decided to dump at a terrible expense to all, or to put an end entirely to the abuses we saw on those pictures. I just think it is fair for people to know if ferrets have actually been taken from the premises. And is this to rescue many of the ferrets there, but allow breeding to continue? Or was a strong legal contract signed by the family so that the suffering at that farm of ferrets is at an end? And if the contract was drawn up and signed...can it be faxed to someone in SOS or to Big or to someone you major people on this list trust? That way someone in the know can see if there really is a legal contract....an end to the Mckay ferret farm. I do not think I am writing this very well. But I have to get to work. And I think this is important. I really am truly sorry for the wording here. It seems actually kind of rude to me. Please forgive me, all of you. I do not mean to hurt a cause or a shelter or a person. If anyone wants to reword this so it does not sound so terse, that would be great. Thank you Lisette [Posted in FML 5735]
