Friend of Woman Accused of Animal Cruelty Talks to Newschannel 3

(This article references what occurred in this article. Tom Kasner, It's a Ferret Life)

All Donna wanted to do is defend her friend, Elaine Mccraig, who's been charged with animal cruelty. She says her friend had good intentions, but just didn't ask for help.

Donna says, her friend was actually rescuing ferrets, taking in old and sick ones when their owners had given up. That's why many people like Donna asked her for advice.

Donna says, "she was able to tell me what I needed to know because I hadn't a clue on how to take care of a ferret. I found out so much; how to feed them, let them play, what to watch out for, and what to do when they're sick."

News of Mccraig's ordeal, still brings her to tears.

Fretless holidays with ferrets

The holidays should be a happy time for you and your ferret, not a time for an emergency visit to your veterinarian. To ensure holiday fun instead of holiday fret regarding your ferret, plan carefully to avoid potential hazards.

Food-related items

Alcohol can cause serious intoxications in pets, and many pets are attracted to it. Clean up glasses after holiday parties. Ferrets are often attracted by the sweet taste of drinks, especially eggnog.

Ferrets have an exceptional sense of smell -- juices on plastic or aluminum foil left on countertops are very tempting. If ingested, plastic or foil wrap (cellophane candy wrappers or food wrap) can cause choking or intestinal obstruction.

Dead Pets Found In Local House Of Filth

UNIONTOWN (KDKA 2)

(News Video available at link above, FL.)

Dozens of pets, some of them dead, were found in a house of filth in Uniontown.

Humane officers from the Fayette County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals say there was so much feces and so many dead animals in the home they had to wear bio-hazard suits and breathing masks.

"Probably about four cats, four adult cats, in the freezer mixed in with their food," Humane officer Elizabeth Davidson-Speelman said. "And then they had dead kittens - variety of different dead kittens all over the house. There was a dead cat underneath the mattress."

She also says a ferret was found dead on one of their mantles.

You probably know about the hundreds of dogs and cats at the Humane Society waiting for homes. But did you know 30 ferrets are also up for adoption along with numerous gerbils and rabbits? We investigate why they're ending up there.

Happy homes mean happy pets. But if you choose to adopt an animal other than a cat or dog, you might be in for a lot more than you expected.

Ferret Expert Larisa Thomas says these furry finds are often bought in pet stores as starter pets but new parents can be in for a surprise.

What has four legs, whiskers, different colored hair and the power to draw hundreds of people to the Frederick Fairgrounds on Saturday?

If you said a dog or a cat, you're wrong.

The answer is ferrets.

About 400 ferrets were entered into the annual Dooktoberfest Ferret Competition and competed in such categories such as super senior, breeder and shelter. Dook refers to the clicking sounds ferrets sometimes make.

Susan Hamilton of Newman Lake, Wash., flew across the country to enter Bambino and Bean in the competition. viagra buy viagra
