I have to disagree with this in a way. Found an ad in the paper about selling two ferret's. The person had three ferret's. She was having nip and potty training problems. So I send her tons of info and went to her home. We discussed many things about ferret's. Last I heard, she is going to keep the two she was selling. So there are people who just need some advice and may not have any contacts in the world to ask. Or not know where to ask for advice. Debbie in WA with the five (well temp 6) who are always in trouble If they did, they wouldn't be trying to get rid of them! Nothing we tell them...no amount of information we provide them...will change the way they are. They are blind, deaf and uncaring. They will still buy ferrets and abuse them, or throw them away. No one on this list is going to stop that. [Posted in FML issue 2882]
