I bet I am not the only one who responds to this, and I am going to be
civil, even though I wanted to scream !##%**!#!

Anyone else find this post laughable?  We all know that this is the nature
of ferrets and that this ferret is no exception.  If this person had done
the research before obtaining ferrets, they would have known what to
expect.  I also question why a ferret can do all these things and be a
nuisance since there are so many simple ways to ferret-proof the home.
Part of me wonders if this is a real post or just someone playing.
Either way, I respond (scratching head).

Ferrets do not select to go home with you, it is the reverse.  If you
don't have time for a ferret, you probably don't have time for any animal.
Regardless of whether this is a ferret, you should always consider these
things before committing to an animal.  This is very irresponsible
behavior.  I bet you spent more time researching what type of car to buy
or where you wanted to live?  Why wouldn't you research an animal before
adopting?
 
I don't wish any ill to others who have to give up their pets (sometimes
there is no other way), but I also have never seen such a mean post about
these animals.  Again, this was the wrong place to post something like
this and that is why I question whether or not this person is playing a
prank?
 
Someone needs to rescue these ferrets from this person, BEFORE any harm
comes to them!  It sounds like this person really hates ferrets.  YIKES
