A past posting to the FML stated that a new Petsmart in Tualatin Oregon has started to sell ferrets. There is no Petsmart in Tualatin and Petsmart has no intention of selling ferrets in Oregon, thank goodness. There IS a new Petco in Tualatin and Petcos in Oregon have unfortunately been selling ferrets for about a year now. The number of stores caring ferrets has increased and the quality of care and ferret knowledge of the employees has degraded substantially over the past year. Please don't bother writing to Petsmart (except to praise them for NOT selling ferrets), but do contact Petco and let them know how you feel about them selling ferrets. The Regional Manager for Petco in the Pacific Northwest is Phil Paradise at 14125 NE Airport Way, Portland, OR 97230 Elayne Barclay Cascade Ferret Network [Posted in FML issue 2534]
