Evening, everyone. Just curious - I came upon a page about trapping ferrets in New Zealand..which was a bit graphic (for me) as a man had a whole bunch of ferrets lined up that he apparently had trapped and killed in NZ. Is this a common practice over there? And if so, why is that - I was under the assumption they were used for hunting or as working animals over there and were not regarded as "pests" as this guy on the website explains..? -- Linda M.

And they do. And generally speaking, they are ignored. - Alice Walker Hunt each other - leave the animals alone. [Posted in FML issue 5321]
