No.  There are quite a few weasel species in the US.  Some are found in
North Carolina.  I'd bet that he could get at least us and Bob Chruch to
come visit and check this out personally.  It would be the only place in
the US with wild ferrets.

It is through losses that gains can be made.  Bob Jacobs did not lie or
steal.  He and his ferret are now noted in the history of ferret progress.
Pat Wright practiced a form of civil disobedience.  His loss will help
others.
 
But the progress made in ferrets with regards to rabies recommendatino
came with honest and ethical efforts in studying ferrets and rabies.  We
didn't lie to get where we have.  (Thats the big we of ferret owners.)
 
We in particular will never support efforts riddled with dishonesty or
other ethical weaknesses.  Wish all in the ferret world were as honest.
