Some folks involved with zoos don't think ferrets are the only animal Mr.
Hanna really needs to learn about.  Just what they've said to us anyway...
 
Some don't like the mere way he brings predator and prey species onto the
talk shows where they are on stage at the same time.  Can't recall an
exact time though to cite.
 
We prefer some of the other folks that do the same type of talk show
apperances like Joan Embry.  Don't know her feelings on ferrets  - she's
from the San Diego Zoo I think...
 
Mr Hanna is right that folks should learn about ferrets and that they are
weasels.  But folks should learn about cats or dogs before they get them
as well.  Dogs "destroy" far more babies than ferret EVER will.
