I truly believe all accusations pertaining to anything needs to be analyzed and thought through thoroughly. Often what you end up reading is meant to excite you, as usually those individuals have their own personal agenda that they do not disclose. Everyone is entitled to make up their own mind and voice their own opinion without being attacked by others. When the name Marshall Farms is brought up, various emotions are often voiced on the negative due to their past outrageous violations concerning the welfare of the animals they breed. Marshall's has since drastically cleaned up their act, though they do still have some ways to go.
Breeders are in the business to produce litters in order to make money from their sale.
Nice statement, but there is no proof, research, medical evidence, etc to substantiate that claim. The number of Marshall Farms ferrets that may develop health problems like Insulinoma, adrenal, etc. When you look at the incidence rate realistically in proportion, there is really no difference among breeders. However, by performing this step, they are also controlling the population of ferrets as well as the health of the female who will need human intervention to bring her out of heat or she will die. They practice closed-colony breeding, provide inadequate vet care and poor living conditions.
