I've been away from my office and unable to post anything until today. Apparently some wacko was trying to set up a petting zoo in Staten Island N.Y. and had quite a few injured and sick animals who were both undernourished and dehydrated. Among the animals confiscated by the NYC ASPCA were three ferrets. I don't know any more about this situation. Is there anything that can be done to rescue the little guys? Ferrets are illegal in NYC and I'm afraid of what the ASPCA might do! Unfortunately I have to be out of town for the weekend and won't be able to help with contacting the ASPCA until Monday June 3rd. If anyone has any ideas about what to do please e-mail me or start taking action on your own. Thanks.
