Whoever witnessed the deaths of the ferrets needs to be a woman or man and call CPS and the animal shelter. They are the only witness that will be listened to. Animal control will not go by what you say since you did not directly witness it. I've had to get witnesses to testify. It isn't fun. But remind them that this is for the best for the children and the animals. They would not be contacting you if this was not bothering them. See what you can work out. If anything, call the cops and say you saw the child hurting this ferret outside. They will come. Yes, it's a lie, but whatever. Or call CPS. Or both. People fear calling CPS because people can lose their children. Guess what, CPS does not take children unless it's a bad situation. They don't get paid depending on how many kids they remove from homes! [Posted in FML 6653]
