In the last two days I have been given this link http://ht.ly/1GWwI several times because as people read it they thought of me. I am appalled by the phrase that Paris Hilton has turn in her Chihuahua for the newest trend.
For those of us that are pet parents know that pets are not a trend to be admired for a short while and then exchanged for the newest celeb promoted pet.
The article goes on to say that ferret ownership is on the rise. What it doesn’t say is that ferrets are the third most owned pet behind cats and dogs.
Ferrets are high maintenance and while Paris Hilton can afford to have other to take care of her darling Baby Vegas. Don’t be surprised that Baby Vegas stops being her new Favorite pet.
Ferrets are little thieves and will steal anything that catches their fancy. This includes dangling earrings still in the ears or not, rings on fingers, and if a button happens to look especially bright it is on the ferret’s list of hidey-hole treasures.
The article goes on to reference another article at Paris Hilton's ferret that makes mention of Paris Hilton being seen in Las Vegas cuddling her ferret, Baby Vegas, before going on to talk about her animal farm in L.A. and includes ferrets.
Ferrets are illegal in California. What a slap in the face to the almost one million ferret owners who have to hide their beloved fur child because if found the ferret pays the ultimate price which is execution in 48hrs unless the owner can find someone to take their beloved ferret, that is if the ferret hasn’t bitten anyone.
To the wild game officer it doesn’t matter that a ferret has been vaccinated for rabies. Once a ferret has bitten someone and it has been reported the ferret is given a death sentence and yet Miss Hilton can flaunt her ferret(s) in public without repercussion. Again she has the means to whisk Baby Vegas out of the state with a phone call.
What else that is appalling is that Paris Hilton admitted to Ellen DeGeneres on her show that she has so many dogs because they keep having babies.
All that proves is Paris Hilton is no better than the puppy mills. This woman has the funds to have her animals fixed as not to add to the overpopulation problem that has our shelters full and strays running around on the street.
I am glad to be given these links so I can show how some celebrities go about showing the rest of the world what they can get away with.
I can only hope that Miss Hilton becomes more responsible by having all her animals fixed, including Baby Vegas. If Baby Vegas is a little girl and she goes into heat and doesn’t mate she will die from estrogen depletion.
I can only hope that Paris Hilton has the proper licensing for the exotics she owns and didn’t get it by paying an exuberant price for the paper but actually went through the proper classes and requirements so that she knows what she is doing.
Excuse the rant. Your opinions and comments are welcomed and all will be read; if some are extremely rude I won’t answer them.
