I think you should adopt not breed. Laws must be passed to ban selling them. They are one of the exotics that are trend pets. When their true wild nature comes out they are thrown away. Its very sad that people dont think beyond "Its cute I want it."
Just watched this with my ferrets, one of them was nosing the screen when the pictures of the sad ferrets came up. she and her sister are both rescued kits who were put under huge amounts of stress, the sable was even set on fire and has scars all over her. despite this they are gentle, playful and affectionate. its crazy how after all they went through they are still willing to love humans. keep doing your good work. to anyone considering adopting a rescue ferret, its so rewarding :)
what is wrong with this person! Grr I would like to shove the owner of this "farm" in a small cage and let them live above their own feces!! People who do "breeding" like this need to be shot point blank. If I had lived closer i would of rescued some, all our kiddos are rescues and they are a sweet as can be. If you dont know how to take care of the animal then you shouldnt have one. ITS A PRIVILGE NOT A RIGHT TO OWN A ANIMAL!
By my house there is a man keeping a ferret outside in a small red crate (not for animals) there was a dead chicken before and now there is a ferret, i told my step dad and he said its fine but they never clean upafter the ferret and it smells like hell when you go past him what should i do ?
@MissFluffyChick you need to report the man to any animal rescue or welfare near you. ferrets cannot be kept in small crates or cages all day every day, they need to roam and play. theyre also very clean animals, so living in their own waste isjust horrendous
It seems like only yesterday we all worked so hard on this rescue, we did our best to save the most....but it was not to be. Today I crusade against the HSUS because they refused to help us execute a rescue on this farm. It still hurts, and I watch this video I'm crying tears that are as fresh as they are old. Thank you for the video, and let us never forget.

Sadly, things like this are happening all over the country and around the world. Thankfully, there are those who step in and rescue those babies (those that can be saved). If you know of a hoarder, report them. If you know of a rescuer, reward them.
i am sitting here now ,shaking with rage.the owners of this hell should seriously be shot!no trial,no jail time,just taken out and shot!this is an abomination!there is a hell for animals and it is in the form of sick humans!
We have one of the DMK rescues, and had another, who has since gotten his wings back. They're 2 of the most awesome personalities i've seen in my short time with ferrets. Merlin and Gandalf, presumed to be brothers. Both champaign and massive and strong. The most enormous hearts of gold. Merlin bit me right after we got him, because i accidentally grabbed him wrong. It tore his soul, could see in his eyes. He was scared I'd be mean to him for it, like this #$% was. The Most High will judge
Ohgods..that had me in tears..and now highly...queasy..how can anyone do this? Honestly..these animals do nothing but want to be loved and played with..gah...it's..mind numbing to try and comprehend it..
To be honest..god bless the people who rescued these woozils! And there's a special place in the darkest depths of hell for people who do this kind of BS to innocent fuzzbutts! Hope they effin rot! Now I has to go cuddle his two woozils and lavish them in even more attention!
The first 3 or 4 mustelids pictured were mink.I was aquainted with Doug Mckay a few years back since that was the only breeder in the midwest I could find that would sell mink as pets.I was just thinking of getting an unaltered ferret from him the other day when I came accross this news.
Ferrets were frozen in their cages after their cages were "cleaned" with water in the winter, and were never taken out. Piles of ferret crap were under the cages, and dead cage mates.
Those poor babies.. I've got a fuzzy myself it kills me to see these adoring, loving babes in such horrendous conditions. Ferrets are loyal, adoring and just want to love and be loved. To see them in these conditions makes me nauseous, to think that a human being could put them in such.. unfathomable conditions. He should be put in jail and treated like he treated them. End of story.
What a truly awful situation. You hear so often about the puppy mill situation but people just don't realize that this is the case with many cute pet store animals. I wish that CA would do away with the ferret ban because so many people here would love to rescue ferrets legally. I have rescued a few here and have one now, but it is so difficult and secretive to rescue ferrets in CA. You are wonderful for helping these fabulous, fun, happy furries.
how do i rescue some of these guys ... i live so far away but i have everything they need ... i have enough for 4 of them ... and great vet references and im not looking to breed i just want some little guys to play with ... do you think they would work with me ?
make the man live in these conditions for awhile and see how he fairs. those poor babies! I wish I could take them all! anyone want a husband so I can make room for them? j/k...oh I just love ferrets! I have 4 now! I plan to adopt 2 more if they'll have me!
I would love to help rescue/house some of the ferrets. I have had them since I was young, they are wonderful little creatures. They don't deserve to be treaded so badly.
I agree but put people like this in an Iranian jail along side with Vick!
Im sorry I cant watch this video it makes me so sick it reminds me of a chicken, turkey,or pig farm for food. if it takes the government to step up and make strong laws that can be enforced then be it. maybe for now a hotline that people can call if they see cruelty to animals and something can be done. Maybe like a DYFIS, shit say he had a joint on him and the the cops would be all over him.
(Drying tears) People like that should be shot. I'm sorry but those folks are sick. Any person who harms an animal is sick. Poor defenseless fuzzy kids. I'm glad folks stepped up and rescued them. I have 3 fuzzy kids.
All the kids are off the farm now... More than 800 ferrets that need love, loving homes, & vet care. Can you open your heart and your home to an animal that has never known love?
THANK YOU for saving ALL these babies! I hope people understand that this can be what happens should they decide to breed ferrets. It's not a small adventure to raise ferrets...and it's even harder to take over where these "people" leave off.
look up the Lakeroad Ferret Farm Rescue Shelter...it says, on the website, that no ferret has ever been turned down...good luck...i have a 13 week old baby ferret and can't imagine him living like this
i never cried so hard in my life.you are good people but ferrets CANNOT live inthe outside world.God,please watch and protect these helpless little critters they have suffered enough
Yes he should but thank God he had enough courage to ask for help. In most cases owners would burn down whole place with animals inside as a simpliest way to get rid of the problem.
