Nobody knows the trouble I see in the continued desexing of ferrets being
sold and bought by humans who either don't care, don't know, or do know,
but just don't give a darn - they just want a cool, kissy, boing-boing
dancing ferret pet, and so there!
 
When the vast majority of ferrets being propagated as sexual truncates
(desexed) come to that time and place in the evolutionary fork in the road,
they simply will go down the fork that leads to extinction.  They will have
not adapted to change, or if they have, they will not be able to pass on
that germ DNA particle plasm to any offspring, simply because they are
incapable of passing their seed to the fertile farm ground of evolution.
The process of domestication comes to an abrupt halt with your pet-store
bought ferret.
 
One should learn from the keepers of dog and cats.  There are 135 different
"races" of dogs and some "37" different "races" of cats.  The dog and
cat breeders are constantly breeding their critters for specific
characteristics, health, stamina, resourcefullness, and longevity.  What
are the vast majority of ferret keepers doing?  Nothing.
 
Just remember Children with your "toys" . . . every desexed ferret bought
is one more step down the yellow brick road of extinction.  Just go in the
deep of night when your head rests upon you pillow and ask your "Wizard."
 
Nobody Know the Trouble I See;  Nobody Know But Jesus.
