Ferrets are actually still used to run cabling in the UK and also to
hunt rabbits. The ferrets flushes the rabbit out and a whippet (dog)
chases down and catches the rabbit. (Not sure mine would be so good at
this - they'd probably go inside the dark burrow and cuddle up with the
bunnies and fall asleep lol) Ferrets were also responsible for running
the cables to film Lady Di and Princess Charles wedding and did the
wiring for the more recent Milennium concert in London. Here in the
States Boeing has used them in the past to run wiring in airplanes.

Haven't seen a flyer with this info in it but you could make one up and
just be sure to cite your sources. Just Google "ferrets at work" or
"uses for ferrets" and you'll find several sites. Here's a couple:
