Any "display" of agressive interaction between ferret owners/breeders
should be discouraged at great lengths.  Remember, people who are not
familiar with ferrets attend theses functions as well.  We are certainly
sending the wrong message.  Even owners who don't know a lot about their
ferret may see some "rough play" and try to imitate this at home.  Knowing
that ferrets have the propensity to nip or bite when challenged, public
display of rougness with these precious animals is STUPID at best.
