I received an email from a party stating she knows from talking to some of the employees that Petco IS buying from Rainbow. My information they were not came from Regional Manger over 3 states. She is an advocate of ferrets and did a lot of changing in this area plus she let us help police their stores. Managers are aware of us and we are to go to them first, if they don't make a change (which usually they do), then we go to her. Not once when I turned in a complaint did I not receive an acknowledgement within hours but usually had a report by the end of the day. Our people continued to watch those stores till we were sure the fix wasn't temporary. It may well be in other states they are not so good. It is hard to believe Petco's here order their ferrets from up the north while Rainbow is here in Texas, I am ashamed to say, and Petco's up north order them from down here......... But if in your area you are seeing Rainbow ferrets (are you sure they are Rainbow or from some other vender) out of Petco, I won't argue as I have no first hand knowledge. Hopefully by losing Petsmart, Rainbow will cease raising ferrets. Millie and her Cleaning Crew www.Txferretrescue.org [Posted in FML 5891]
