People have made some really good points about this issue, but I thought I'd share *my* thinking because I feel I've made an ethical decision. First off, I like the Ferret Store and I am well aware and very appreciative of all they've done to give back to the ferret community. They also have a terrific selection of products; there's just no comparison between them and all the other cat/dog/other online pet supply stores. Pets.com has a lousy selection, AND their pages are set up in a slow and annoying way. But that's a more technical issue! :-) My bottome line: I will support the Ferret Store when I need supplies for my fuzzies and can't get them by patronizing a shelter. HOWEVER, this sale is a one-time very special deal and I can't disregard it. I'm saving too much money to ignore it. This DOES NOT MEAN that I will continue to use Pets.com when they have regular prices. What, I'm so dopey I won't notice an increase in price? I'll just automatically use them again, despite the fact that so many people have made negative comments about the shipping time? NO, I have a brain and can use it. Just because I don't buy *this* order of food from TFS/NEEPS doesn't mean I never will again, and if Pets.com thinks they can just lure me in like a trout, well, why not capitalize on all the bait they're tossing out--while it lasts?
