Pardon my ignorance, but would a rabies shedding study in ferrets require
the intentional exposure of rabies to test animals which would then be
allowed to die from the disease?  This would, I assume, require a
sufficiently large number of ferrets to die to obtain a scientifically
accurate result.
 
Perhaps it might be better to not have these tests done, in the interest or
preserving the most ferret lives?
 
I'm not arguing either way, but I would like to know more about the
procedures involved in running such a study.  Does anyone have any
information on this?
