Howdy All! I enjoy reading all of your messages some have been of great help with our three ferrets. I thought I would share with you something that I came across on the Internet that I thought was interesting if not amusing. >>>>>>Jazmyn Concolor ([log in to unmask]) wrote: Humans make lousy pets...They are messy and far too independant. Their habits are difficult to live with. They use up all the hot water in the bath, then leave piles of dirty dishes all over, unlike a dog who can get by with just two dishes. Humans are three times more likely to get rabies then a ferret, yet there are no available rabies vaccines for them. They multiply out of control, yet there is no spay/neuter programs for them. They destroy habitats of wild animals and are a detrimental species. Humans are not listed as a domestic or wild species, but the CA fish & game code exempts them from needing permits. (yes..it realy does..read it sometime).. Humans are often a danger to other humans and have been known to steal from them, injure or kill them, abuse them and require more care and upkeep then their parents have time to give them. Oddly enough, while one needs special permits to keep many pets in CA and some other states, a permit or license isn't required to breed humans in the home. Humane societies won't even take unwanted humans, so they run loose in the streets, eatting out of trash cans and sleeping in doorways... <<< Well thats it for now till the next time.
