I am very surprised that place puts down the ferrets. There are other programs which adopt them out. Ferrets are used to teach intubation of premature human infants. It is important training, but why the heck they are then destroying the ferrets instead of arranging something more humane is beyond me. It is cruel and unnecessary and to me seems to be the antithesis of their goals as life savers. -- Sukie (not a vet) Ferret Health List co-moderator http://www.smartgroups.com/groups/ferrethealth FHL Archives fan http://fhl.sonic-weasel.org International Ferret Congress advisor http://www.ferretcongress.org [Posted in FML issue 5127]
