I read the email about intubating ferrets for human infant experience and as Sukie has just pointed out there are many schools that do that. I have forgotten now which one works with a rescue but there is a big one that flys the ferrets in, gets them vet checked, are only allowed to tube them X number of times per ferret, then surrendered them to rescue who is able to again get them vet checked and then adopted out... Sukie I deleted the original message.. if you can get me the name of the school I'll see what I can do.. Vicki [Posted in FML issue 5128]
