I just wanted to say that I could not believe what I was reading about just saying, "I think, no matter where one gets their ferret - a pet store, a breeder, a shelter - really doesn't matter." If there is no demand then that is the only way it will stop. We must do all we can to stop the selling of any animals from Pet stores. I would think that with what we know today, unless we stick our head in the sand, that we must never give up on trying to close down Marshalls and any breeders that operate like a puppy mill. Can't take a long time to respond and tell you how disappointed I am to see that post because I have to go and take care of the ferrets and other animals that were sold in pet stores to the wrong people who no longer wanted them. If we don't speak for the animals, who will? Fran C. Freedman, President & Co-Founder Morning Starr Animal Sanctuary A New Beginning... A 501(c)(3) organization Contact info: P.O.
