Something horrible has happened. On Sunday, the San Diego Metro Chapter of Ferrets Anonymous had a Ferret Picnic at Balboa Park. A little girl wondered over to the FA group and every one assuming the little girl was with some one in the group. Well she wasn't and she grabbed some one's ferret and it scratched her. She ran off and came back with a very mean and nasty mother. The police was called and a statement taken. Well tonight 5 or 6 DFG, several police officers and Animal Control, broke down Pat Wright's front door (literally), came in with a warrant...went thru his house like they were looking for drugs after they had already confiscated his 4 Ferrets. Pat does not know whose ferret scratched the little girl, but the officials are now calling it a bite. The lawyer Mr. Weingarten arrived on the scene as they were hand cuffing Pat. The officials told Pat if he would tell them whose ferret Scratched (bit) the little girl they would give his ferrets back (yeah right and I'll sell you some beach property in Arizona). He kept telling them he didn't know. With the lawyer there, the officials let Pat go. The officials have one in quarantine, 2 others at animal control and not sure where the 4th is at this time. Pat needs our help. We can't let happen to Rocky, happen to his 4 fuzzbutts now. This is a desperate plea from me to help Pat. This is going to be a costly battle to keep the fuzzies alive and sent out of State, I don't have Mr. Weingarten's address at this moment. But Pat has an FA address: George Weingarten % Ferrets Anonymous P.O.Box 3395 San Diego, Ca. 92163 (619)584-8427 [log in to unmask] Please if you can help Pat please do so, and say a prayer for his fuzzies.
