200+ ferrets in ohio need help

[missywhitmore]

I didnt know where to post this but This story made me cry if anyone here is in ohio and can help these ferrets it would be great this is a cross post from another group I am in. Please be careful if you click on the link it is so sad to see the conditions that these ferrets are in.



Here is the info below with the link you can pass on to everyone you know.
Thank you for your help. I don't know if it is anything you would consider,
but I just wanted to let you know that I know that is going to be a massive
rescue (anywhere from 200+). I don't know if you would consider volunteering up
some ferret bedding? Maybe hammocks, sacks? I don't know exact numbers yet
obviously, but Jean mentioned she's going to need as much stuff for these poor
babies as she can get. Again, I don't know if you're in the line of charity
work, but it's just something I thought I'd throw out there since you make
amazing stuff!!

Thanks again for helping!



So, here's the link to a real heartbreaking video. Click at your own risk.
And, believe me, these aren't even the worse pictures.

This is real. It is cruel, and unjust to these ferrets. This is currently
going on in Ohio.
This place needs to be shut down and there are people working behind the
scenes to make it happen. Legal channels are being followed. Now, they're asking
that everyone please pass this on to all the ferret communities/ message
board, friends you have and to also contact any media in your local area.

Oh my gosh! How disgusting! Those poor babies. What is going to happen to the mink? Are they going to be rescued and homed too? I know that they aren't really 'pet' animals, but it would be a shame to see them euthanized (I don't know much about mink, or if that would even be possible) But anyways, I am going to contact your person and see about maybe making some bedding for them out of my extra fabric.

I know they are asking for donations and are going to try to rehome all the animals. I would think that they could find a zoo or something for the mink. I am getting to work on some donations of bedding now. It is so heart breaking I just want to take all of them and cuddle with them.

So is this shelter taking all these animals? I went to the website and it just says they are TRYING to get this guy shutdown....? So, is this a sure thing? Those pics are heartwrenching.

[missywhitmore]

From what i gather from the other forum they are in the process of taking legal action and taking the animals. I know they are asking for donations now to help when the animals are collected.
