I understand the feeling that went into this post, but seeing as the magazine was not trying to put one across anyone, rather, being new to the ferret world, they made some honest mistakes, this type of reaction is un-needed. As I said in the previous post, a well written and composed message to the Editor goes a long way to helping clear these misconceptions and inadvertant, misleading pictures. They probably are not ferret owners, so how would they know those things that we have learned in the school of hard knocks and experience? Again, I caution people that writing threatening letters and being generally abrasive to the magazine will only alienate the ferret community. Let's educate with kindness and respect, I'll just bet it will go a lot farther in furthering the acceptance of our ferret pals! For our ferrets...... MC, The Rude One [Posted in FML issue 2506]
