Linda Iroff (bet) chose black-foot ferrets and a local ferret shelter for receiving funds raised by her soon-to-be-seen taste-testing of totally Ferret ferret food.
A recent discussion on the Ferret mailing list that might have ended up in an important argument was instead a great fundraising opportunity.
"It started a few weeks ago, when there was some discussion of the quality of totally Ferret food on the FML was," said Linda Iroff, a ferret owner, FML member and co-founder of the international Ferret Congress. "Alexandra of Massachusetts claimed to have tasted some pronounced the delicious, but [Rebecca Stout] posted that it would only trust the Lindaferret advice!"(Lindaferret is a nickname for Iroff.)
Stout of confidence in the Iroff ferret food taste-testing ability stems from an incident at the 2003 International Ferret Congress symposium in Atlanta, where Iroff tasted ferret food for a whole audience.
Iroff agreed to taste-test Totally Ferret food, but only if someone gave her dark chocolate. "Dave Rossow took me up on the offer," said Iroff. "He Further suggested that people money to the charity of my choice to donate, and I agreed to do it as $ 150. I opted for Prairie Wildlife research as charity. "
Prairie Wildlife Research is a non-profit organization that works for the conservation of wild animals that their house on the Prairie, especially the endangered Black-foot fret.
Once Iroff dedicated to the event, snowball plans."Renee Downs, Rick and Candi White both offered matching funds to $ 150," Iroff said, "and last I heard $ 565.Dave bought a webcam and plans for the live broadcast of the event! "
Rossow also just go to the FML posted that as $ 750 is increased, he will taste the food, too.Rossow is a FML member, and a volunteer and foster home for ferrets Unlimited Rescue Service (fur) in Cleveland, Ohio.It is possible that both he and Iroff a live audience for the event, might have if Rossow and his wife is considering with the event at their home, with $ 10 donations at the door go fur.
In addition, Isabella Gucci-Jones, the fret mascot for Totally Ferret, donated food for the tasting, and a 30-pound bag of ferret food to the shelter of choice Iroff. Iroff chose fur.
April Pietroiacovo, owner of Isabella Gucci-Jones and ferret specialist at Totally Ferret, said that Totally Ferret keeps getting involved in dom and fun stuff like this. The donation is a must. "We felt that we had to do something for Linda, not for our food but for putting the video on the Web for everyone to see, "said Pietroiacovo."Oh, and we claim no responsibility when she starts like to sleep in a hammy and has a sudden urge to run through tunnels. "
Donations are still being accepted, with no specific time limit at the moment. Iroff gave more details about the tasting, "I have committed to try the regular active adult TF both the Turkey/duck/wild-versions, but not to eat a certain amount promised! it seems that we'll be reporting live on webcam, and I will review a write-up for the FML naturally."
