I was gonna sit back and just bite my tongue, but from where I sit - I see someone pop-up and talk the talk...well 'ferts', I hope you can walk the walk. I don't know what dark hole you came out of, but you can crawl back in. On the cover of Modern Ferret, you will see For Ferret Owners. By Ferret Owners. Modern Ferret is a family oriented mag, that cares not only about ferrets, but about the people who are owned by them. When I receive my Modern Ferret mag, I feel like I'm family. Unlike Ferrets or Ferret USA. They care only about the high and mighty dollar. They don't make you feel you are part of a community of ferret enthusiasts. They very well know that when they print California names and addresses, they are not only hurting the person, if caught with their beloved pet, they can face enormous fines. Be placed on PROBATION for years and in California, the officers can come right on in your home without a search warrant, plus losing their beloved ferret to almost certain DEATH. My address, phone number and the insinuation that I breed and sell ferrets. I have 20 to 30 phone calls a week from people wanting to buy ferrets. Now, if I owned ferrets-what the )$#( do you think would be happening? My home would be over run with DFG. I did not authorize anyone to publicly display my name to the world in their mag! When I answer my phone I say 'no I do not have ferrets - ferrets are illegal in California. Would you like information on helping with the Legalization Process - I barely get that out of my mouth - before they hang-up. So until you've been there...done that, don't down Modern Ferret, they put ferrets and people before the almighty dollar. If they grace the pages with their photos and ferrets, so be it. It's better than a picture of DFG coming in your home, destroying it, when they know very well you wouldn't house your ferret in a 4"x 4"x 1 1/2" tampon case, then confiscate your ferret and you never see s/he ever again. Now I'll take a nap and dream of fuzzies...good day everyone, xoxoxo's to all fuzzies. [Posted in FML issue 2639]
