Today, my dad and I went to Petco, specifically to handle a silver ferret, who looks a lot like my first ferret Zen who died 2 years ago. The ferret's 18 months old, and was taken to Petco by a woman who found him in her backyard. My dad and I chose to bring him home, and I paid the $20 "adoption fee". Did I do the right thing? Shouldn't I have adopted a ferret from a shelter instead? Should I even keep him? By purchasing him, aren't I just being a part of the problem of ferret overpopulation? Randie [Posted in FML 7247]
