Getting Involved

If you are a Facebook member you can join in the discussion and follow the movement by joining Triple F Ferret Farm Discussions & Info (https://www.facebook.com/groups/227969317251509/). It's a group started by Barb Clay of Rocky's Ferret Rescue in MD to get the word out and to organize efforts to call for accountability of the owners & employees of this death camp.

There are ways you can get involved and help without joining Facebook if you are not currently a member and do not wish to join. Letter writing campaigns are ongoing as are non-violent, passive protests of locations that sell Triple F ferrets.

As voices for those that can not speak it is our duty to stand up for the ferrets. If you are unsure how one voice can make a difference just remember the single volunteer from PETA that had to shoot the video & report what they saw.

Investigation Exposes Cruelty at Ferret Breeding Facility

An animal welfare group is calling for an investigation of a large northeastern Pennsylvania ferret breeding facility, saying an undercover worker found hundreds of ill, injured and neglected animals living in inhumane and unsanitary conditions.

Last week PETA released a video that was shot by an undercover volunteer during a 5 month investigation at Triple F Ferret Farm in upstate PA. I was not able to view the entire video but did try to read thru the investigators report. Horror. Outrage. Shock. Disgust. Atrocity. Abomination. Just a few of the words I would use to describe the feelings I experienced as I read the report.

Criminal charges

The animal advocacy group filed formal complaints asking federal, state and county investigators to look into alleged violations of animal welfare and protection laws, medication compounding and handling regulations, and worker health and safety rules.

David Sacks, spokesman for the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, said inspectors went to Triple F on Aug. 29 after a meeting with PETA. The farm has three weeks to appeal the USDA inspectors' report, which will not be made public until that process is complete, Sacks said.

A message left Friday the Bradford County district attorney's office was not returned. Pennsylvania Agriculture Department investigators received the complaint and were looking into it, spokeswoman Samantha Elliott Krepps said.
