Hello FML ;O) Hope ya's are having real fertti days and big dooks to all! We just wanted to share a word of encouragement to Dayna and her special little friend. Our prayers are with this darling little one, and we also are thanking God that you were there to be guardian angel too! I simply can not imagine such deranged anger as a response to a bit of dirt on a floor! Though to be honest, right about now I just may be capable of a few things similar myself, if I had this bi... and Lance within range, I might have a momentary lapse from my passivisim, just briefly ya know. I would like to ask both Dayna and Troy to please pass along the personal info on this individual, (via my email and not the FML please) this is a case of clear cut animal abuse, yet again, and I want to see this woman answer for her cruelty to this little one now! As far as I'm concerned, IMOHO this woman's no saner, or less deadly, than her apparent spiritual twin Lance, and getting away with such heinous acts will only serve to provide her more opportunity to commit further injury, to animals, and I dare say to humans perhaps as well. Indeed, I would like to take this chance to encourage anyone encountering persons who commit these crimes to PLEASE REPORT THEM! Whether our various countries judicial systems do work quickly or inefficently or not to handle our reports, it is a very definite surity that the laws and the authorities are of no value to us whatever if we do not involve them at all! I don't mean this to sound harsh really, but I just believe that actions speak far louder than even the most sympathetic of words. If we want change and justice, in regards to ferrets, or any other issues of our hearts for that matter, then WE must effect it by becoming involved. We would also like to submit a couple of names fer this precious baby. Miracle - cause living through this was one & Dayna being there was one! lionheart - cause this babe has one to survive this pain to love again! sanguine - cause it means 'hopeful' 'confident' 'secure' all I hope for! I'd also like to thank the many folks who emailed me to thank me for my last post, I tried to answer you all back, but I'm afraid a few bounced back to me,(including yours Dayna ;o), so thought I'd convey here my own gratitude to you all, it was most encouraging to see so many who agreed, especially about us all working together fer ferret freedoms. I believe we shall indeed do much for our dear furry friends, and I am looking to this new year eagerly and am confident it will be one of great changes! Well, Ferris 'n I is off to real important matters now, <Ferris' pinion> cause it's got to be at least two minutes past treat time ya know! <g> And as always, we keep you all in our prayers and thoughts daily. -- Fightin Furiously Fer Ferrets Freedoms Ferris (Get down?
