A few weeks ago, someone mentioned MFF and asked about pet and research ferrets - they thought buying more MFF would save them from research. I responded that the pet lines and research lines are different. I was WRONG (?Moi?) Since then, I have found out from an extremely reliable source, that there is no difference. The destiny of any particular ferret is left to chance. Any given ferret can either end up in a pet store or a research lab :( :( :( Sorry about my earlier incorrect statement. I hope whoever asked originally sees this. Debbie Riccio WNYFLFA Rochester, NY [Posted in FML issue 1222]
