Mayhaps one can see a difference between "force feeding" and "assisted
feeding".
 
Shoving anything down the throat of a ferret is different than putting food
into the mouth of a ferret that is too week to fetch the food for itself.
 
We will put food and water into the mouth of our critters that will eat it
once it's there but squirting it down the throat is not something we will
do.
