Being new to the FML, I am trying hard to pay attention to the "other" issues which get posted here besides the fun cutsie stories (all though I love those, too!). I refrain from asking too many questions this soon, (and I do have a ton!), figuring over time, the answers wll appear in one post or another. However, I am getting a little concerned about something: To Barb & Seymour... Your statement "New ferret owners almost never know about MF" is indeed true in my household. I believe my ferrets (Abi and Samson) both came from MF. Because of this, should I be concerned about things owners of "other-farm-ferrets" need not worry about? What is it that I should know? I should tell you that both Conrad (my roommate and boyfrined) and myself are open to supporting causes we're informed about, but like to know both sides. So although I am concerned about why MF is getting such a bad rap, I would also like to know if there are people out there who support them. I'm sure this is an old issue to most of you, so if this is info I need to recieve privately, thats fine with me. Thanks! Heather, COnrad, Abi & Samson [Posted in FML issue 1319]
