The authors raise a good point. Some have been nervous about govt. control of pets ever since UK areas requested ferret owners register. I disagree with the article, however, that destroying hundreds of chickens is less awful than destroying pet hamsters. Remember in Europe, MILLIONS of farm mink were killed because it was thought they might transmit the covid they'd caught from humans back to humans. Yes, the chickens and the mink were meant for death eventually, but that doesn't mean their lives mean less than our cats, dogs, or ferrets. They just don't have enough passionate humans to stand up for them. ... See MoreSee Less

Please share! It's freezing cold and this little oldie will be suffering.Please spread the word! Bro.okes was LOST on January 12, 2022 in East Hartford, CT 06108 in East Hartford or in New HavenDescription: He must have gotten out the carrier during transport so he can be in New Haven or East Hartford. He's visibly sick, stumbles when he tries to run, slightly milky eyes, with little hair due to adrenal disease, & won't survive long in the cold. He needs medicine two times a day. He's very precious to me, so I'm hoping someone found him & took him in & contacts me! Needed this shared in both towns so had to change lost date, but it was the 11th.For more info or to contact Bro.okes's owner, click here: https://www.pawboost.com/p/7663184Lost or found a pet?

FB would not allow me to share Patricia Shaskin's post - so must cut paste: - My (Ann Gruden's comments) follow:I want to take a moment to pay tribute to a wonderful woman named Barbara Podann who was called to The Bridge yesterday. She was an active member of my shelter the Ferret Association of Connecticut (FACT). In her lifetime she cared for more than 80 ferrets, most of whom were rescues. Sadly a few years ago she had a stroke and although she survived, she was never the same again. She was a widow, no children, no family. The folks at FACT stepped in and became her family. While she was cared for at her home, she had many visits from people and furry friends. As time passed she deteriorated and needed more care than friends could provide. The photo is from last year.Farewell Barbara. Enjoy Heaven with all your ferret children. Until we meet again ❤️🌈 🐾---------------------------------------Patricia Shaskin wrote this lovely tribute to our dear friend, foster mom and volunteer Barbara Podann who left for the Rainbow Bridge yesterday morning. Once arrangements are finalized we will share them here with everyone. I will add that Barabara was a member of FACT almost from our beginning in 1995. She was completely devoted to ferrets as all who knew her can attest (along with her love of all things involving Peanuts characters - Snoopy in particular). Since her retirement, she was true to her word over the years and volunteered weekly at the shelter in addition to fostering elderly and infirm ferrets for FACT. I know all of her charges as well as her personal adoptees were there to meet her at the Bridge. ❤ ... See MoreSee Less
