23 August 2003: "Ferrets in need"

Incidentally, if you've got a few bucks to spare, consider sending some to Rocky's Ferret Rescue & Shelter in Maryland. The Shelter was involved in a mass ferret rescue in Hagerstown last month, and another in Wolfsville last week. A total of 80 ferrets were involved, 62 in Hagerstown and another 18 in Wolfsville, and those critters need veterinary services and feeding. The rescue sites are two studies in cruelty by extreme neglect; maybe I'm a softie, but I cried upon seeing the accompanying pictures, and damned the so-called "caregivers" to the hottest corner of Hell, especially since the ferrets at the Wolfsville rescue appear to have been hastily transferred from Hagerstown before Washington Co. Animal Control arrived.
Donations can be made to Rocky's PayPal Account, and should you chance to meet one Di Bachman of Hagerstown, MD, tell her there's a guy in Washington State (i.e. me) who wouldn't piss on her if she were on fire.
