Just wondering - Does the number of Marshall Farms ferrets used in the study reflect the sale of ferrets BOTH to the public AND to research or ONLY those sold to the public? I suspect the latter . If so, the results of this 'study' are skewed. I seriously doubt that data can be obtained to reflect this missing factor. I'm not supporting Marshall Farms, just looking for fairness in computing the results. -- Roger McMillian Member: Greater Chicago Ferret Association <ferret>@ripco.com Editor: "Off the Paw", GCFA Newsletter website: http://ferret.chi.il.us/ferret/ : remove the <> to e-mail Ferret (noun) A furry little creature that weasels it's way into your heart. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Posted in FML issue 2143]
