To all at FML. This list has been a great source of information and enjoyment and thus I consider it a great success. I have recently become a new caretaker of an unwanted silver fuzzy, but to my great worry and concern, I currently reside in Ca. At first my vet assured me the legal risk of ferret ownership and impoundment was real small especially if kept reasonably low key. After a phone conversation with another keeper and reading a few of your postings, I am quite worried and angry at the same time. Maybe if a large collection of these horror stories were gathered and organized in a collective effort, they could form a persuasive attachment to current legislative efforts. If you have been a victim and want to post your story, maybe it can help stop the abuse. *** Men of thought should think as men of action *** Men of action should act as men of thought *** *** Dreamer [Posted in FML issue 1690]
