Gotta agree.  The sooner we admit the problems that go hand in hand with
ferrets the better off we'll be in the long run.  Anti-ferret groups are
painfully aware of the "downside" of ferrets -- the infant maulings, the
feral populations in NZ & Europe, the musky smell, the nippy nature of kits,
etc.  If you anticipate these shortcomings being used against you, your
ability to counter-argue improves.  Sticking your head in the sand is about
the worst thing you can do.  There's no such thing as a perfect animal --
not even ferrets.

Joe, if you'd like the specifics on the CA situation you can email me or one
of the other CA subscribers.  There's no shortage of us, believe me.
Otherwise, you can find out about the general picture at the following
