Well said Cris.  I agree with every word you have written.  It was high
time that someone gave the true picture of ferret welfare in the UK.  I
would really object to having to pay for a licence, especially when that
cash would be better spent on getting maybe 5 ferrets neutered.
 
I took in a beautiful mitt hob yesterday - very laid back but he doesn't
half stink :-o  It was a bit tricky taking him in actually as my lurcher
bitch was whelping.  Lucy ended up with 5 healthy pups - she changed from
being a really giddy lurcher into a loving and devoted mum.  I will be
keeping one of the pups another is going to friend.  The other three will
be re-homed via a another friend who has a waiting list for
Bedlington/Whippet lurchers.
