Dear Friends, Yesterday I caught a portion of a program on Animal Planet that showed ferrets as "wild animals" and in the next breath went on about "puppy mill" breeding of bears. Now, how can we get our point across to this network to examine programs for content and to delete any obviously untrue statements, such as ferrets being wild. Do we subscribe them to "Modern Ferret" or to this list or do we contribute our pennies and send the veeps a copy of the latest book on ferret care? This is not the first program that has labeled the domestic ferret as wild, but could we possibly make it the last? This kind of ignorance should not be broadcast. There should be liability of the network for "truth in programming". I feel very angry when misinformation such as this is allowed to be broadcast. Cheryl The Critterpen by Chemayn Cheryl M.
