For quite some time, I have not posted much to any forums I belong to. But I do read the FML daily. I was appalled at the advice given by Ed Lipinski regarding biting ferrets. All I could think while I was reading that nonsense was... "are you friggin crazy?" IF this was humor, please save your ridiculous humor for those who find it entertaining. (Maybe there are other sites and forums that you can participate in. Do a google search, perhaps on *idiots humor*) And especially, when a ferret owner (novice or not) seriously needs advice about an issue or problem, he/she isn't looking for jokes by some ignoramus. They are seeking serious, intelligent thoughts and solutions to problems they are experiencing. Ferrets that bite need to be treated with patience, love and compassion. [Posted in FML 6212]
