Hello,
I'm a ferret. I'm writing because I'm very irate over a matter that has
come to my attention. You humans use the word "litter" to describe a group
of ferrets from the same pregnancy and also to describe the contents of the
boxes in which we poop. I find this highly offensive. Are you trying to
say that a batch of ferrets babies is no better than a smelly box of offal?
Do you think that ferrets should be put in the bottom of a box and pooped
on? Do you think we are nothing more than absorbent pieces of clay and
wood? I became very incensed when I learned of this. Just when I begin to
think humans are not that bad, I learn about something like this. I demand
you stop this practice at once or us ferrets will start referring to a
batch of humans as toilets.
Signed,
One Irate Ferret
