I don't usually jump in on this kind of dicussion, but I feel that I should
ad my 2 cnts worth. When I first got ferrets, I was very uneducated about
them. I took mine every where with me. They never got sick and what
little education I had to offer was given out. Things like "No it's not a
rat." and " No I didn't catch it, it's not a wild animal.". When people
are exposed to germs they and we are every day, they are more liikely to
build an imunity. If a person isn't exposed, then when they do go out they
have no imunity. When my ferrets got ECE it was because I brought it home
with me, they hadn't been out in months. If a child is going to tell a
parent that they want a ferret, that could happen because they saw a ferret
on "Kindergarden Cop". A person who's kids wanted a ferret called me last
spring because I was the only person she knew who had ferrets. She called
before they got ferrets to get as much information a possible first. After
they got ferrets she called again because the family was going on vacation
and wanted know where I left my ferrets. She wanted to know that hers
would be safe while she was gone. It's hard to educate some one on some
thing that they can't see. I learned a lot about the Revolutionary War
when I was in school, but remember very little about it.
