I got this off the WVEC.COM web page and for sure this is Carol McCraig's shelter. I know Carol very well and she has the very best and tax exempt shelter there is. She takes in very old ferrets and works hard to keep them alive giving them a forever home for the last of their days. Here is the story off the web page: Hundreds of animals removed from Beach home January 30th, 2008 Animal control officers say they found nearly 200 ferrett - nearly half of them dead and in a freezer - at a home on North Lynnhaven Road. Aboug 61 ferrets were put down by the state where they were in such bad condition they could not be saved. There were 100 or so in a freezer that had died previously that needed to be disposed of. She did have a very difficult time finding a way to dispose of the dead ferrets where she had so many. This is a most tragic event where Carol did so much giving all of her time and money to these animals. I have visited this shelter and it was extremely clean and well kept even with outside runs for the animals. Carol would not let just anyone help, they had to be not only clean themselves but had to know how to handle these animals well. Carol would have to hand manipulate some of them to help them eliminate urine and waste where they could not do this on their own, most would have put them down but she kept them going. I do not know what happened to Carol or why this all came about. As I learn more I will keep ever one informed. The news stated there would not be any charges brought against the owner (Carol) but the state of Va is not in control of that operation. Gordon, Peekaboo and Pester Rev. J.
