>I do remember a high amount of fitch mixed into many ferrets.
 
This is confusing as here in the UK a fitch is a ferret, yet the above
statement makes it sound as though a fitch and a ferret are two different
species.
 
I know that both ferret and rabbit had their names changed to fitch and
conney so that furriers could sell the fur as fur coats.
