>BUT, MOST IMPORTANTLY!!! FERRETS HAVE THE RIGHT TO LIFE, JUST >AS ALL CREATURES OF THIS PLANET!!!!!!!!! I did indeed send an email to the radio station, but I couldn't let this statement pass. And why is this person who claims to be in a ferret friendly area posting anonymously? (I would have sent a private email otherwise.) Anyway, fighting for our pet's lives, especially when the threat is unfounded is one thing, stating that animals have a "right to live" is pure hogwash. Not even nature grants them that "right". It doesn't even grant *us* that right (not to mention abortion, etc.)! So, lets do our best to fight this thing, but unless that statement was tongue-in-cheek, when you're trying to make sense to non-ferret owners, take it easy on the outlandish statements, that will get you nowhere. They'll just dismiss you as part of the "mental" class. <grin> Jon Hagee Lexington, KY BTW, let me know if anyone wants a copy of my email to Mr. West. [Posted in FML issue 1851]
