I think my quote has been taken a bit out of context, I was talking about
the morality of shipping to the UK (and other countries). I personally
wouldn't like to think of an animal being shipped so far. Domestic flights
are acceptable but the thought of ferrets alone on long international
flights worries me.
 
Also, what's to stop someone ordering a ferret to be sent to the UK, and it
then having to spend six months in quarantine due to our rabies laws? I'm
not saying rabies quarantine places are bad places but they're not ideal
homes.
