I have to say that I am so very disappointed in the community right now. I am upset and worried about the ferrets that are neglected because of silly RUMORS that go around about ferret shelters and parents. Within just a short time I have been I've cracked two BIG rumors that could really hurt the reputation of a shelter or person. One time I was told that a shelter was running a filthy shelter, and folks were worried. WELL NO ONE had been to that shelter but me and may I say that I thought this person was a bit OCD, the house was so clean. No joke, I had to take my shoes off before I went in!! It's terrible that I have to be vague and send this anonymously but it has to be done to protect those involved and myself. I myself and extremely careful about what I say, and to who I say it to. Is this helping the ferrets? NO! You know who you are that do this and SHAME on YOU! You are helping no one. You can potentially destroy a shelters reputation and the reputation of those who run it. Hush, cut it out, this is childish!! I am in the mist of a big project and have no time to stop what I'm doing to stop a stupid rumor, someone with time to kill, has started. Think before you speak! Believe me I wanted to say much, much more in this post, BUT who will it serve? How many ferrets will that help? [FG] [Moderator's note: Where were these rumors stated? Not sure it does much to quell these rumors by posting an anonymous note with little detail on the FML, though I can understand your frustration. BIG] [Posted in FML 6266]
