Here is my honest opinion regarding Triple F and PETA. First of all, I don't agree with PETA's philosophy at all. PETA states that the barns which housed the ferrets had reached temperatures of 99 degrees fahrenheit, while the Associated Press article claimed the temperature was 100dgf. In either case, wouldn't all of the ferrets be dead of heatstroke? See: www.peta.org/features/additional-details-from-the-investigation.aspx and <http://hosted2.ap.org/PASCR/Article_2011-09-02-Ferret%20Farm-Investigation/id-2b051df879774fb0ad6d16790483db39> The Associated Press article claims that PETA is an animal welfare organization, when they are actually an animal rights organization. I hope that the USDA takes whatever appropriate action is necessary in this case. Randie [Posted in FML 7174]
