I will add this, though -- these ferrets have obviously been TRAINED to
do this trick. If they got into the coat, they knew what was coming. I
will watch the video again, but I didn't notice any ferrets that looked
stunned or injured. I *did* see one sneezing (a sneezing ferret? OMG!).
I will also add that it's impossible to tell *what* that coat is made
of, from a video. It could be fur.....or it could be *fake*. I don't
know.

Again -- if anyone has any doubts or concerns, it would be more useful
to contact the circus directly, rather than speculate about it here.
And that's my final answer.
