The Times Dispatch reported that a Mr. Craig Bradlee of the Big Lick Ferret Shelter and Hospice went to the Roanoke SPCA and paid the $25 for the animal to 'bail' it out of 'jail' for being shipped in a card board box! Am so very glad the animal was fine and that the post office people got the legal papers to do a search of the moving package. Am surprised the animal didn't suffocate in there! The shipper could not be found to be hog tied and strapped to a cement anchor and thrown into the Roanoke River. All kinds of federal agencies and the courts came to the rescue of this active little critter. It was shown on TV and the little guy was a typical active hopping and dooking little one pound guy! (probably a female). It simply never ceases to amaze me the stupidity of people. I think thevsender had good intentions where it was shipped in the box that had a wire cage with food and toys but really , , , DUH!!!!! More like CAPITOL DUH !!!!! Worse yet the animal was to be shipped next day to an address outside the country! Pretty darn lame. The receiving address was a small town outside San Juan, Puerto Rico ! DUH ! So all is well and we all can be very thankful for Craig Bradlee's kindness. Thank you Craig! aarrow ranch Signature Remember, we live in a deadly dangerous beautiful world! [Posted in FML 6678]
