It saddens me to read these posts that condemn or attack people for expressing their viewpoints, such as Bob C, and I'm sorry but I forget the other poster who suggested that shelter operators euthanize older, sicklier ferrets to save resources for healthier ones. There's absolutely nothing wrong with disagreeing with someone's posts, but there is something wrong with not knowing how to express your opinions without attacking people with name calling, insults and threats. These posts make me think less of the people posting them and really make me wonder if they truly love ferrets, or just being right. On a happier note, I would like to thank those who have just recently sent their condolences about Shadow. Email keeps coming in and makes me appreciate the FML as a whole even more. The others are adjusting well, but they're not quite themselves yet. Seems strange, but they are greatly effected by the loss, as we are. - Mish ____MICHELLE Z.
