PETA Video -
Correct me if I'm wrong please but a few years back PETA released a video of
a class project where the class studied the predatory nature of a ferret.
This project was not approved by the appropriate board and all involved were
reprimanded.  The ferret was a pet of one of the students.  Could this be
the video being referred to?
 
Breeding - Gentle Suggestion -
For those considering breeding, would you be interested in becoming a ferret
rescue and shelter?  We an always use more.  At this very moment I share my
home with ferrets that have been turned in because of allergies, unwanted,
medical illness, moving, can't afford proper care, behavioral problems, SO
tired of the smell, they poop all over the house, etc.  When I received my
first ferret I was fell madly in love with this enticing creature.  I bred
for the first 3 years (1 litter each year) and had to stop.  Not only did I
want to keep them all, but I was never sure the kits got the right home.  Oh
I interviewed and made call backs but there's always that doubt.  My last
litter I kept 4 of the girls and had EVERYONE spayed and neutered.  I'm very
happy doing what I do now and I have the opportunity to help many ferrets.
I still bond closely with each and every one and some cannot be adopted out
because they bond so closely to me.  I have one little boy that follows me
everywhere and each time I stop he lays on his back at my feet looking up at
me with those big adoring eyes.  Of the 18 that are my own only 3 are ones I
bought for myself.
 
Hugs to all.  tle
