I read an article in the Wicked Local Somerville and thought, Wow – that ferret was such a lucky little animal.
Can you believe it?  Someone threw this little albino girl into a DUMPSTER!!  Fortunately a waste management contractor found the ferret, took her home and now she’s part of the family.
God, how fortunate was that?
I honestly do not understand people who think it’s okay to be cruel to animals – why do they do it?  Couldn’t they have put an ad in a paper to give the ferret away, or even sell her?  Why dump the poor thing.
When a good friend of mine was doing the Ferret Rescue post for WAFFS, she’d call me up and tell me some awful stories about ferrets which they rescued or found … one albino boy was kicked so hard in his ribs that, despite medical assistance, he died. 
Another ferret was always getting out of his owner’s property and ending up next door at the neighbor’s so the neighbor got fed up and threw the ferret into the owner’s wheelie bin (those big green bins for household rubbish).  Of course he didn’t tell the owner so the ferret was stuck there for days and died there.
Makes you see red, doesn’t it.
