| Triple F Farms Investigation |
|
September 8, 2011
For Immediate Release:
The American Ferret Association is aware of the recent release of PETA's undercover investigation of Triple F Farms' breeding farm.
We understand the USDA received PETA's report and conducted an investigation. The USDA's report will be released to the public in approximately three weeks.
Located in Northern Pennsylvania, Triple F Farms has been a family owned and operated ferret farm since 1985.
The American Ferret Association will be contacting Triple F Farms requesting to visit their facility.

For Immediate Release:
To date, the American Ferret Association's request to visit Triple F Farms' facility has gone unanswered. We are sending instructions to Triple F Farms management to remove
our website link and all references to the American Ferret Association from their website and any printed or electronically transmitted materials.
Until such time as the AFA is welcomed into their facility to view the conditions, and offer husbandry best practices for breeding jills and jills with kits, we cannot in good
conscience allow Triple F Farms to affiliate themselves with us in any manner.
We encourage the ferret-loving community to educate themselves with the facts surrounding the Triple F Farms situation. Inspectors from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's
Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service went to Triple F Farms on August 23-24 after a meeting with PETA. Triple F Farms has three weeks to appeal the USDA Inspector's report,
which will not be made public until the appeal and correction process is complete.
To view the USDA report, click here. Then enter 17976 in the customer search box and click on
the 'Search' button. Then click on the 'Inspection Information' tab to view the reports.
