The listing that Jan wrote hit really close to home. This past Thanksgiving my sister past away from a long fight with cancer. She and her husband have a farm in Fl that for over twenty years have taken in animals that were sick, unwanted or picked up for animal abuse. I have lived there a good many years and worked the farm also. After the animal population got to costing well over $400 a week to feed, a dicision was made to open the farm to the school children for day trips at $3.00 each. Schools from all over Central Florida booked over 100 children a day. All the money went to care and feed. Now, since my sister is gone, we have talked about what to do with all the animals. There are no more tours, no more money to care for the animals. Most of the animals are old and we hate to think of moving them to stange places. Some of the younger ones are being adopted by another farm that gives tours near by but it is so hard after so long to have to think about the rest of them. What do you do? These animals have the best of everything and been cared for like family. What do you do with the lifes after a death? Sorry to sound so sad just missing sis and thinking of all the sad animals that miss her too. I have my ferrets in my will!!! Thanks for listening Penny [Posted in FML issue 2180]
