I recently saw an article in The Union Jack which is an American
newspaper for British expatriates. There was a small article on ferrets
which stated that ferrets are gaining in popularity among petowners in
Britain. "Last month the National Ferret School launched the National
Ferret Week. The little animal, which was used by poachers for centuries,
is reputedly well-behaved and easy to train. There are 250,000 ferret
owners in Britain, and when lecturer James James McKay of Broomfield
College ran a pilot course on the subject, 1,088 people applied to join
the course."
That's a thought -evening adult education courses in ferrets as pets.
Hmmm. Would it fly on this side of the Atlantic?
