Dear Anonymous, Lori told us directly that McKay's grand daughters did indeed take about 100 of the best ferrets before she was able to get the actual rescue underway. Because of that there weren't really 800 ferrets rescued. Apparently there was some sort of deal that they could "only" breed 6 litters a year. 100 ferrets is a lot of breeders. Time alone will tell. It breaks my heart to think that they got away with all those ferrets, and they are probably living in the same conditions that their rescued relatives were living in. In the hot, the cold, the dark... outside, in those awful boxes. I hope not. Maybe someone can work on rescuing them? I think Lori has done her share, but maybe there is someone else in the area who could do it? Anonymous [H.A.] [Posted in FML 5784]
