However, as we become more familiar with pet store ferrets,
and we see the common ailments develop in them like adrenal
cancer, insulinoma, and heart disease, we wonder why domestic
ferrets have to be put through so much stress so early in their
short lives. Why do they have to be separated from their
mother at less than a week and thus not allowing the mother's
own defense system through her milk to be strongly passed
on to her kits? Why do these defenseless animals have to
be neutered when they are less than two weeks old and only
the size of a walnut? Why are they rushed into pet stores
at 4 to 6 weeks old and dumped into cold aquariums filled
with wood chips and cheap cat food? Could it be that in
our plastic, "everything is throw away" society, that pet stores
are giving us exactly what we want. The "Throw Away Pet".
The "Replaceable Living, Breathing Creature" that God
created for our enjoyment as a companion animal is becoming
a part of our plastic world.
