'The Rude One' is gonna coment here and it may not be pretty to some. Tough... As much as I dislike Ed Lipinski's posts, overall, I find myself questioning a post in last night's FML. Judy Moon stated "We were appalled that ferrets given up for adoption were being bred." What I have a problem with is: Where are all these 'whole' ferrets coming from that Ed Lipinski has? Yes, yes...there are a LOT of ferrets given up, but I would hazard a guess that better than 95% are neutered. (Please note the word, 'guess') I suspect that the pregnant females in Mr. Lipinski's shelter are NOT rescues or given up for adoption. Where they came from, I have no idea, but the numbers don't match with what I see in the local ferret community, and we are really no different than any other area. For once, it seems, I will be curious to see Mr. Lipinski's response, as I am sure he will. MC (The Rude One) [Posted in FML issue 2403]
