Leah,

You are so right this is a terrible thing. Just think if he could do
this to a defenseless animal what would he do to a child. They need to
lock him up and throw away the key. I am so glad this ferret is going
to be OK and I will be praying for it. Can you imagine the trauma and
pain this poor ferret endured :-(.

God Bless You
