If indeed the outcome of this campaign is the removal of MF kits from petstores, what are the possibilities? Well, I guess there are several good ones. 1) The store may simply stop selling ferrets the same way many pet stores have stopped selling dogs and cats and still remain lucrative. 2) Rescue promotion which many stores do by allowing rescue shelters to set up a kiosk now and then to help find homes. A chain in Florida does this for greyhounds on a regular basis. This is a great alternative for stores near a rescue and the stores establish a good relationship with prospective owners who will need food and supplies! 3) Search out alternative breeders and check into their operation, if they mind your questions the way Marshall seems to, run don't walk to the nearest exit. The best relationships between consumer and enterprise is one of cooperation and communication. Unlike what appears to be Marshall's philosophy which appears to resemble stonewalling. We all need to find ferret related businesses that appear responsible, cooperative, and always willing to listen and inform and to promote *these* businesses to the best of our ability. Thanks EM for doing some homework. best wishes, until next time, alphachi PS. Just saw a promo for "The Big Lebowski". When are filmmakers going to actually record some *real* ferret noises? My ferrets are beginning to wonder if they are really ferrets!!! [Posted in FML issue 2240]
