In Minnesota, the Humane Society kills ferrets on arrival. DEFFBAM tries to intervene and pick up any that are left at the Humane Society. But, I understand they are given very short notice, (although they do AT LEAST notify them). I've heard this is the case with most humane societies, who claim that ferrets are wild animals and make bad pets. I have to stop now because I will rant and rave about the "humane" society and bore everyone to tears as well as work myself into a tizzy... [Posted in FML issue 1136]
