Wow, I decided to respond back to my post one time. 1. Thank you to the person for the stock response about afa and all, even though I am new here I do have ferret friends and have seen that write up sent before. I guess I figured most persons in the ferrets know who I was talking about because there are some breeders that do alot with the afa and show and win alot and one post on that other fb site said that big name respected breeders they knew would cut back on breeding etc in case of a big rescue. That person does things with the afa and looks like she is friends with those breeders so it wasn't hard to figure out what breeders she was talking about. ** I think you are one of them aren't you? 2. I only used that link because that person commented on them cutting back breeding because of the rescue that year and when I looked it did not look like anything was different from one year to the next so I asked. 3. I have nothing against good breeders and am glad when one takes care of the ferrets they have but I never said that or asked about that. 4. I posted hoping for some good responces from some of the big name respected breeders about how they did help the rescue and did take in some of the rescue ferrets but no one sent anything. I am very sad that good responces did not happen only bad ones. I was asking for good information but am surprised there wasn't anything from others. I do know of a few breeders that do rescue too so I will say that is great for the ones that do. I know there are some breeders that have shelters too but figure most ferret people know which ones they are also. 4. What I was surprised at was the amount of hate mail I got from the breeders that (do alot with the afa) to my private email address. Wow is all I can say. I was hoping for emails like, (hi i'm so and so and I did this and this when the rescue happened and took in these ferrets too). What I got was hate mail. This is sad and makes me wonder about the breeders and who they really are as people. Just my thoughts. And, no I am not signing my name, would you after you got hate mail? [Posted in FML 7185]
