GRRRRRRR!! I told my husband that night that there is something not right about this case. WHY didn't the parents wake when the baby started crying? Don't you think a baby would cry if something was chewing on its toes?! I believe the parents were under the influence. It is NOT the first time a pet has been accused and has turned out to be rats...AND the parents were drunk, stoned, etc. In ALL the cases I have followed up on (the media is bad about NOT clearing the ferrets...I have contacts all over the world), it has been a rat and the parents have been, ahem, "asleep." The puppy "may" have done it. The ferret "may" have done it. Probably not. They may have but I really doubt it. And again, why didn't mommy and daddy hear the cries when "whatever" was biting? Blood anyone? Surely the puppy or ferret would be covered in blood. Any evidence of either animal being recently bathed? What was dad doing while mom went the to hospital with baby? Just WHAT was the scene evidence spoken of? Any evidence the BABY was gorked so mom and dad could party? Has happened before. Wouldn't surprise me. I, for one don't think the puppy OR the ferret did it. Whatever the results.... it is a SHAME. A crying shame. Some people don't need pet rocks, much less a child. That poor baby. :::Shaking my head::: Standing by, waiting on the truth. IF we ever hear it....
