I really don't understand why there is so many negative things being said about MF. I will probably anger some people but they don't appear to be some sort of monster to me. They may sell ferret that are deamed too young. But these ferrets are not shipped back to MF they are bought. Many of you have posted about how you have fell in love with these little ones, even the Young ones and have taken them home. Since MF is still selling ferrets why should they change any of thier policies? If it were not for MF many of us would not have any ferrets. Shelters many times have waiting lists and SOME of them ask questions that are extreemly personal and I feel unnessecary. Since unless, these shelters have a degree in human behavior, they can adopt out ferrets to the wrong person just because this person fit thier proflile.I think the shelters that request extreemly personal info like income, work hours, marital status, type of dwelling you live in, ect should also be subjected to the same type of questons by the potential adoptee! These shelters justify these questions by saying "it's to insure ferrets are adopted to the best home". These shelters should be subjected to the same type of screening to insure that they are decent people. I' ve been told that all shelters don't ask for this type of info, but some do. In this day and age with society the way it is , I am sure many people including my self don't want to release personal info to just any one. This may be another reason why people would rather buy that cute, adorable ,young ferret from the pet store, which is more than likely a MF ferret. Michelle and the FAM. [Posted in FML issue 2291]
