re: SPCA refusing to adopt out ferrets. I guess I'm awfully naive ... I just have a hard time believing an organization which is supposedly in favor of good treatment of animals would rather kill it than give it a good home! Sheesh. I'm going to have to talk to the local shelters around here. Does anyone else know if that sort of stupidity goes on in Pennsylvania? [Several organizations are like that. Humane Societies, SPCA's etc. Some "don't believe" that ferrets make good pets. Thinking that they're just captive wild animals. Hell, some veterinarians think that way. Others are part of the political persuasion that animals are better dead than "demeaned" by being pets. Sigh...] --Barb-- [Posted in FML issue 0224]
