I have been to Jean's shelter, and she loves and cares for these precious fur babies like they were her children. Obviously, this person who made the comment, has never been to Jean's. I've adopted a couple of my fur children from Jean and I think she is one of the most compassionate, giving and caring people I have ever met. She doesn't just take in ferrets either, she takes in all kinds of animals that irresponsible people dump on her. I know she spends many sleepless nights caring for sick animals and even takes them to work with her so the care is "around the clock". I'm with Jean, don't comment about ANYTHING you don't know to be fact!! Whether or not you intended to hurt Jean by your comment, you did. You can contact her directly, and I for one, think you should, and humbly appologize to her. As it is, there are not enough people out there who are able/willing to sacrifice what is necessary to run a shelter. Don't make them feel like they're not appreciated. Where would the unwanted ferrets go? Just think about THAT one! Watch what you say. [Posted in FML issue 2700]
