Hello Urban, Perhaps those ferrets you know are not as fun loving and wordly as those who have in the past and hopefully in the future-- attend our fun events!!! I can't say for sure about your area, but here on the east coast -- astrology readings and tarot readings are not unkown at Ferret Fun events -- and the shelters get supported! We are very lucky when talented individuals VOLUNTEER their time and talents to help raise funds to operate shelters.... and we do not discriminate or predjudice them, rather we appreciate their willingness to help. The talented reader takes her studies and talents seriously and we certainly look forward to her participation. We are very sorry if this single activity, one of mnay which will take place at the Sept 11th event "Teddy Bear picnic " offends you.... it certainly was not meant to do so. Sincerely, ALicia for the many faces at Ferret Wise Shelter http://www.dartmouth.edu/~crassi/index.html [Posted in FML issue 2701]
