Responses from Whole/Natural Prey Suppliers
Yes folks, that is 700 ferrets rescued from appalling conditions at a minor mass breeder. They have all been dumped on one little ferret rescue in Ohio.
The rescue operator is asking for help of any kind, either monetary donations or adoptions or just plain simple help with the work load.
Here is a link to a YouTube video showing conditions at this breeder (I have heard parts of it are hard to watch. Personally I can't watch these things. Just hearing about parts of it is enough to give me nightmares.): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eADmummyIkY
Anything you can do, even if it is just spreading the news to others who care, will be of great help to these ferrets. Every tiny bit helps in such a situation. Details are enclosed below.

Doug McKay, the notorious ferret breeder in Ohio who had been the subject of numerous protests and investigations over conditions at his ferretry, has finally thrown in the towel by dumping 700 (yes, that is seven hundred) unneutered, unvaccinated ferrets at a ferret rescue in Ohio. This is, to my knowledge, the largest single ferret rescue in American history.
The guidelines for adoption to be followed are:
1. A spay/neuter contract will have to be signed and you will be required to have them spayed/neutered within 60 days. Proof of spay/neuter must be sent to the shelter upon completion. Kits need to be spayed/neutered by 4 months of age. If you are picking up ferrets for someone other than yourself you must bring a signed contract by them.
2. Due to the large quantity, I cannot accommodate special color requests. I would prefer you take ferrets how they are grouped by cages if at all possible.
3. There will be no adoption fees, but a donation is requested.
I will be extremely busy taking care of these ferrets so I will not be answering e-mails other than adoption requests. If you are unable to adopt a ferret donations are greatly appreciated and tax deductible.
Thank you in advance.
