Something smells bad here. These people are doing the community and the animals a great service; sheltering, medical care, maintenance, and re-homing these wee "lost souls" that are often rejected by the mainstream. The zoning board has way too much time on their hands, and just WHO pays for these sessions? - Joan Wed, 23 Apr 2008 20:32:06 +0100 http://www.ferretlife.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=71&Itemid=2#pc_71 I don't understand why they need to make a profit to keep a business going. The community is benefiting from someone taking in ferrets that may otherwise be let out the door to 'take their chances' or overload the local shelters if they take ferrets which in St. Louis they don't accept ferrets. They call the ferret shelters to come and get them. The only thing I can think of is the only benefit for the community is tax dollars. Good people open their hearts and homes and do a service to the community, pets, the people who no longer want their ferrets and the people who love them, which covers everyone. There are no thank yous, awards or money. Maybe the community would like to take care of it by housing the ferrets, paying for surgeries and meds, food, and litter, bedding, etc. with everyones tax dollars. I bet that would be protested too. Which is it? Let someone take care of the overpopulation of unwanted ferrets for no tax dollars or use tax dollars to pay for all this plus provide a building, utilities, wages, insurance with tax dollars. The math is simple. God bless the shelter and the loving, giving people who run them.

Funny how it took them almost a year before they decided to have another meeting about my ferret rescue. As for Mr. Boyler\'s remark about the rescue, I found that he didn\'t know what was going on at the metting on December 11, 2003 because he SLEPT through most of it and it was being taped for chanel 69 News. The comment about the odor from my ferrets were unfounded by the ACO and the question was asked how an odor could have permiated through the \"FIRE WALLS\" of my home into the Neighbors home. The next step is that our case will go back to the Hunderton County court system in front of the same judge as last year. Debi/Fuzzy Loving Ferret Rescue - Guest Sun, 11 Jun 2006 16:53:22 +0100
