Laura & Sukie, Do you know what makes me madder than ever. It's the wild population of ferret/polecat crosses that do the damage to the native fauna, yet the bureaucrats chose to ban pet ferrets. Where is the logic there? Then again when did we ever expect bureaucracy to be logical. It's a worry that people still want to import ferrets from an ADV positive country.
