Harold met a cow today and he didn't kill it or even TRY!!!! Why do these stupid beliefs about ferrets exist? Why do some people out there want them illegal? Are they ignorant? Is it something political that I don't know about? The longer I have ferrets, the more I don't understand the misconceptions out there. Why don't people look at the facts? Don't they see that ferrets don't carry/die from rabies quickly? Don't they know ferrets can't survive in the wild? I wish I could put a sweet loving fuzzy on each of their laps so that they would KNOW!! I admit, I had a bad viewpoint of ferrets before Harold & Scooter, but it was because of what I had HEARD! I gave it the chance to prove itself wrong. It was wrong. Many people won't give ferrets a chance, I know, but WHY can't they just investigate the situation? Why ARE they legal in most other states? Why do people want them legal? I wish these people would Find out!!! Don't make uneducated decisions! If they stay so ignorant on ferret issues, what about other issues? The Humane Society recently wrote me asking for a donation. I wrote back saying that I love the help they give cats & dogs but that I'd heard disturbing news on their treatment of ferrets. I asked what they policy on ferrets is. No response yet...... waiting. Stacy (confused), Harold, & Scooter P.S. My deepest sympathies to Jeri who recently lost her ferret Porky.
