I mostly agree, but it's a big gray area for animals raised & intended as pets that for other reasons are unsuitable- physical or temperament defects, for example.

Another thing just crossed my (suspicious) mind about these "free ferrets"- their owner might be a federal worker or contractor who's been laid off & cannot afford
to keep their pets. So for SURE I'd want to know WHY they're giving them away? If it's truly for a better home or what? It's hard to get the truth from some people-
they often say 'allergies' when really a pet is just destroying their house. Or because they cannot afford needed medical care.
