I'm sorry but I feel so bad for Lori Sies. Why are we making her explain herself so much and in such detail? She did the best she knew how to help the Ohio ferrets and for all this she has done, we are crucifying her. Poor woman! I cant imagine having 600 to 800 ferrets at my home or even nearby and having to worry about their care. She obviously cares for ferrets and tried to do her best ( which not many others were able to do or even would have done)! I still think she's an angel for what she did do! She sent me a thank-you card and I didn't even want one. Save her stamps and paper for the ferrets, hers or the Ohio rescues. I don't expect thank-yous from anyone if I donate to them. I just appreciate what they do for ferrets. Anyone I donate to, please dont feel obligated to acknowledge what i have donated. it makes me happy when I send a small donation to a ferret shelter. It makes me feel good and i dont like people putting down someone who made me feel good, happy and proud. I feel there are many others out there like me! The shelters are the angels from heaven! donators are their helperes in some ways I guess. But seeing this woman being dragged over the coals like this, even having to apologize on forums like ours. And if there was money left over, I don't care if it went to her ferrets, she is a shelter too!!! And this may discourage many others from attempting to save or help abused ferrets or those in an unhealthy, dangerous situations!! Learning what could have been approved is ok, but to mistreat Lori or anyone like this is horrible. This is one of the very few times I have become discouraged with the FML. I just love this group, I always felt you were all wonderful and would defend just about anyone here, but what I see what has been done to Lori saddens me deeply. Thank- you Lori, you are still an angel and I think God will forever remember you!!!!!!!!! (Sorry BIG, I don't want to start anything but this is how I feel in my heart!)
