For those who want to enjoy MANY old ferret Christmas songs, poems,
stories, and sketches:

-----

For those who want to see who has been convicted of abusing, beating,
starving, neglecting, etc. ferrets go to:

http://www.pet-abuse.com/database/

and search using "ferrets".

The site IS tense selective so "ferret" misses a number. You'll see
some names you recognize as with the 42nd and 52nd listings.

(There is also a California listing which might just reflect taking
ferrets from someone, but I don't know details.)
