I sent the following email to both the seller and to eBay:
 
Dear seller:
 
I am writing to express my feelings regarding your Ferret Taxidermy
auction.  I find it to be incredibly distasteful, and I would ask that
you reconsider listing this item.  I am sure that you would not auction
a puppy or kitten taxidermy.  Ferrets are domesticated animals and are
considered beloved pets by many people.  It is hurtful and saddening to
those of us who love ferrets to see a beautiful little ferret displayed
in such an awful manner.
 
Thank you for your consideration,
Regina Hart, a fellow eBay member
