Please Help Save the Angora Ferrets!

It is unclear as to exactly why Danish Angora ferret breeder Soren is choosing to put to death 800 of his breeding stock of ferrets, but this is what he has stated he will do if he cannot sell the lot of them (reportedly a $200,000 investment). A group of Angora ferret enthusiasts has been attempting to save the ferrets, offering to buy them individually from Soren (an offer he refused) and appealing to the aid of local "animal rights" groups (they would rather see the animals gassed than help pet enthusiasts). As a last effort, this groups has drafted a petition to be sent to the Danish Ministry of Justice, The Government of Denmark, The Roskilde Police Department, The World Society for the Protection of Animals and Foreningen til Vaern for Vaergelose Dyr (an animal welfare agency). Please, if you value animal life, take a moment to sign this petition in an effort to stop Soren from killing his animals. It is the last hope these creatures have.

Thank you for your time,

Dangit! i always liked the angora ferrets too.

If that's sarcasm, it's very cold and unappreciated.

Umm..... ok. i Honestly dont know how you seen that as sarcasm.. I own a regular ferret and i love how the angora ferrets look. From the looks of it, there is about to be alot fewer angora's left too...

If he cant sell them all at once, then he will kill them... But will not sell them individually, nor just give them away.......Thats just not right to those poor animals. Someone who can throw away live animals like that needs the same done to him, if you ask me.

Oh!

I sincerely apologise. I guess I'm always a little nervous online as it seems like there is a lot of negativity out there.

Again, I'm really sorry to have misjudged your reply.

I think the reason I assumed it was sarcasm is that most people HAVEN'T heard of the Angora ferrets... I dunno.

As for Soren, you're absolutely right that his way of treating life as a commodity is appaling. That's why we've got this petition... Though I'm sad to say that, due to the law (which I don't think he's technically breaking) it may not be successful. As long as he gasses them humanely.

There are a (very) few American Angora owners planning to breed their animals, so the breed will not entirely die out. Unforunately, I don't know that the outlook for Soren's 800 will be so positive.

So let me close by apologising a third time for misjudging your reply... I guess that's what we get with the internet, and its inability to communicate tone of voice.



Sorry again,
