Ok maybe i did not make myself cleear, ill try again
 
1. Why do you think people take pds out of the wild, answer, to save
their lives, they breed on their own, NOT in captivity, this is almost
IMPOSSIBLE to do
 
2. Someone somewhere had to start the domestication in Ferrets, and just
like ferrets, Pds are taken care of m(fixed) before halloween to stop
them from going into rut.
 
3. If there were no pd owners, there would be 1,000's of prarie dogs
killed every year to stop overpopulation
 
4. Do some people tap into The prarie dogs holes the wrong way?
Deffinatly, are they better offf being captured and being domesticated
instead of being killed?  YES!
 
5. Should we just sit back and say, Hey man this doesnt involve us, ya
know, and somehow think that there is not a possibility that ferrets
could be next to contract some weird virus, UH Duh.
 
6 How many comments do yiou get about being a ferret owner, as ooooh do
they bite?  Wil they atack my baby?  This coupled with other ignorances
put Pd and ferrets in the same category as exotics, yes one is wild, one
is not, but can they both make good pets deffinatly.  Should we all try
to educate people deffinatly!
 
and again for the last time, the prarie dog did not originally bring
this virus here, the gambien rat did, and it could of just as easily
have bitten a ferret than a prarie dog, chew on that one for a while.
 
7. Last post about pds but if you only knew the pain of some of these
owners are going through, its bad, real bad, taking prarie dogs away from
people when they have had them for years and euthanize them?  When some
were picked up in Indiana last night, the pd's were happy to see these
killers come, they lay on their backs expecting to play, and chuckle,
instead they were taken from a home thhey knew for years, and euthanized,
sickening, but oh well it want a ferret right?  So why cry over spilled
milk when it doesnt affect us?  Cover your eyes
