Dear Annonymous, It is MY understanding through third hand information that there was an agreement struck that Doug McKay would cease breeding-- but an agreement made over limitations of breeding between the grand daughters. SIGH.... Of course this gentlewoman's agreement has no way of being enforced etc... It gives us a reason to worry about what will happen 6-7 years down the road... and wonder if the ferret community will repeatedly be expected to clean up the mess.... These types of rescues bring a chill to my spine.... after nearly 15 years of active rescue, I am finding my personal resources totally depleted and a struggle ensuing to keep my home , in order to have helped those who could not help themselves.. I know I won't be able to help the next clean up. Fondly in ferrets, Alicia D. shelter mom www.ferretwise.org [Posted in FML 5782]
