I was watching the news this evening and there was an article about a ferret. The ferret had been confiscated by a police officer (ferrets are illegal in Queensland) and escaped from a cardboard box in the police car. It bit the police office on the penis, causing great hilarity amongst his colleagues and the media. It's being kept at a Queensland Parks and Wildlife refuge. It looked like they know what to do with it - it's being fed dead baby rats, and the officer said they had ferrets before. But it will probably be put down, depending on a court case against it's owner. I'd like to try and save the ferret. I'm going to call the Parks and Wildlife tomorrow, and see if some arrangement can be made to get the ferret into a state where ferrets are illegal. If there is anyone who would like to help please let me know.

But where did they get that wildlife "expert"??? Kylie ferret freedom fighting in Queensland Australia [Posted in FML issue 2953]
