I was reading the FML list for the 26th when I came across a request for breeder ferrets, equipment, and supplies by a gentleman who wanted to open a pet shop. I don't know about the rest of the readers of this list but I feel that your support would be better directed to your local ferret shelters that are usually non-profit and grossly underfunded. Unlike pet shops which are set up for profit. There are plenty of rescue ferrets that need your support and I'd much rather make a donation to a shelter than to someone who wants to start a business.
