Staci, What about my question was so rotten ? Maybe the part that breeders are not helping the over-crowding in our shelters just because they are breeding bigger, better, healthier ferrets and it costs alot to do that. Well our shelters are not full of them, they are full of small abused, sick,ferrets that need vet care and expensive surgeries. If you are a breeder then take some of the $300-$500 you make selling them and put that toward your rescues. Some rescues have 100 or more to take care of with a slim income and they have to pay their own vet bills.Not all have a huge group of followers they can rely on for emergency funds and that is the sad part. I am not sorry for voicing my opinion about this but last I heard the Constitution gives me the right just like everyone else. I guess everyone is shocked to hear from me because I rarely speak up on here about any subject. I am a rescuer and have been for 40 some years. I don't have room for a shelter but I think most who know me will say that I will drive cross country if the need is there I support any shelter that needs my help..I guess I am still upset that two of the large breeding rescues I helped with, some were taken by people to continue breeding,the very thing we rescued them from..... Now that is really ROTTEN... All this over a simple question that I asked.... Ya'll are true to form. my private e-mails are not much better than your's Staci. Debby [Posted in FML 6465]
